cmake: Alert panel appears saying I need to install Java (which I have done), then fails

[nikgervae]

Per the transcript below, when I try to install youtube-dl, at the point where "Configuring cmake" appears, a panel appears onscreen telling me I need to install Java for the java command-line tool. I have done this, and the error continues to appear. If I enter the command "which java", it replies: "/usr/bin/java", so it appears to be installed.

Your transcript shows that youtube-dl had already been successfully installed prior to you running sudo port install youtube-dl this time. It also shows that for some reason physfs is considered broken, and rebuilding it required cmake, which was unable to be configured for some reason.

/usr/bin/java is part of macOS and is always there, even if Java is not installed. If Java is installed, /usr/bin/java runs it; if not, it displays the dialog box you encountered.

Please attach the main.log file mentioned in the transcript so that we can see what the problem was. I don't think cmake requires Java (it didn't used to), so it might be something else.
