MacVim fails to build on macOS 10.15 Catalina

It looks like a patch error.

I believe the patch error only happens when there was already a previous unsuccessful build. The actual error is below. I don't get a patch error when I run port clean MacVim before running port upgrade MacVim

I get the exact same error even with port clean MacVim or port clean --all MacVim. I have also tried sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer and it still produces the same error.

Likewise, for me also port clean macvim before port install macvim doesn't help at all.

The first issue is fixed by adding use_xcode yes to the Portfile. But then there is a compilation error, which seems kinda weird. It is easy enough to fix :

 }
 
 // creation/destruction

Unfortunately after that, I get a successful build, but the code signing fails.

[libsystem-ethan]

Manually signing MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/macvim-askpass, then rebuilding fixes the codesign error.

Is there any ETA on the fix to be delivered?

Same question as above, any news on this ?

For completeness, I've found that necessary for our builds for 10.14 and 10.13 as well, though possibly for different reasons. Let me know if you'd like to see the logfiles, please.

Sorry for not responding earlier, but I have no macOS 10.15 Catalina and therefore cannot help with debugging of this problem.

Please test again with MacVim @8.1.snapshot161, which was just pushed to master by me.

[sitrucz1 (Curtis Matz)]

It builds for me and works properly.
