openssh mojave install error

[nhojpatrick (John Patrick)]

Just upgraded to Mojave, reinstalled Ports and followed wiki:Migration, also looked at ticket:57245 which additionally talks about doing xcode-select --install and xcodebuild -license which I've done.

I've also got Terminal set to /opt/local/bin/bash -l and when i relaunch I get this;

[Command not found: /opt/local/bin/bash]

[Could not create a new process and open a pseudo-tty.]

This is the error I see;

Error: openssh cannot be installed for the configured universal_archs 'x86_64 i386' because it only supports the arch(s) ''.
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.
Error: Processing of port openssh failed

See #57368.

Same as #57245; the macOS 10.14 SDK doesn't support universal or i386 builds.

I'm executing "sudo port install openssh" so does that also mean the port needs changing. I'm also using the default macports.conf.default.

[nhojpatrick (John Patrick)]

Had to do a complete uninstall of mac ports, then reboot, install mac ports Mojave, then sudo port install openssh and it works for more ports now apart form openssh.

Been upgrading mac ports since macOS Mavericks, have not touched macports.conf apart from as a result of raising a trac ticket and being told to change a setting to get a port install/upgrade working.

see attachment and error is;

The port doesn't need any changes. You just can't install ports universal on Mojave, so don't try to do so. Don't specify +universal on the command line, or in variants.conf, or in myports.txt as part of migration.

The libcomerr problem is #57380.
