nodejs10 @ 10.16.3_0.darwin_19.x86_64: Failed to Build Error

I'm trying to install nodejs10 but getting the following error:

I'm having the same issue installing yarn and librsvg. If it's helpful, I can attach the logs from those attempted installs, as well. I'm not sure if they're related. I've never used MacPorts before and tried my best to troubleshoot. I'm on MacOS Catalina, and I'm using the most recent version of MacPorts, version 2.6.1 .

please try this:

sudo port -f uninstall ld64
sudo port -v install ld64 +ld64_xcode

sudo port clean nodejs10
sudo port -v install nodejs10

Replying to kencu:

please try this:

sudo port -f uninstall ld64
sudo port -v install ld64 +ld64_xcode

sudo port clean nodejs10
sudo port -v install nodejs10

Thank you! This solved the issue with nodejs10 package installation.

[kencu (Ken)]

this has nothing to do with nodejs10.

We have to make .ld64 +ld64_xcode the only option available for newer systems, and if it's not already in port diagnose, add it.

It's just not reasonable that we keep seeing this error after two years...
