Error: Failed to build opencc: command execution failed
Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_textproc_opencc/opencc/main.log for details.

According to main.log (file will be attached) opencc code is not compatible with the compiler used. It could be seen from appearing errors:

In the future, please add the port maintainer(s) to Cc (port info --maintainers opencc).

I know.

opencc 1.0.5 doesn't build either, which is why I haven't updated the port.

The developer hasn't even posted a download for 1.0.5, and hasn't acknowledged a ​16-month-old issue I filed about that. The project has 92 open issues; the developer doesn't seem to respond to them.

If you want opencc to work again, you'll have to somehow convince the developer to start communicating with people and fixing the problems.

It is sad. But initially I want to install goldendict and it depends on opencc. Is it possible to disable the dependence on opencc, when chinese dictionaries are not required?

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

You should file an enhancement ticket against the goldendict port and suggest moving the inclusion of the Chinese dictionary to a variant. Better yet, file a PR.
