Poppler 0.81.0_0 fails to build

[dershow]

I tried to upgrade poppler from 0.80.0_0 < 0.81.0_0.

First it gave the usual error of:

Error: poppler cannot be built while another version of poppler is active.
Error: Please forcibly deactivate the existing copy of poppler, e.g. by running:
Error: 
Error:     sudo port -f deactivate poppler
Error: 
Error: Then try again.
Error: Failed to configure poppler: poppler is active
Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_graphics_poppler/poppler/main.log for details.
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.

So, I deactivated and tried to upgrade again. But, this time, I received this error:

--->  Building poppler
Error: Failed to build poppler: command execution failed
Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_graphics_poppler/poppler/main.log for details.

I've attached the log file.

I also ran into the same issue. Here is the text in the log:

OS is Mac OSX Mojave 10.14.6

Thank you for working on this.

A workaround is to create a symbolic link to MacOSX.sdk, named MacOSX10.14.sdk, in the /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs directory:

pushd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/
sudo ln -s MacOSX.sdk MacOSX10.14.sdk
popd

Then, retry your upgrade.

[mike142wood]

workaround symbolic link described above by barrettsa worked.

On osx 10.14.6 I had just upgraded Xcode as offered by Apple Software Update.

Is there an Apple problem upgrading Xcode on Mojave osx 10.14 around the time of release of Catalina osx 10.15?

Duplicate of #59078. (Yes that has been closed; take it up with the maintainer.)
