xorg-xorgproto @2019.2: Failed to configure on macOS 10.15

MacOS 10.15:

Error: Failed to configure xorg-xorgproto, consult /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_x11_xorg-xorgproto/xorg-xorgproto/work/xorgproto-2019.2/config.log

config log

config.status:896: creating applewmproto.pc
config.status:1048: error: could not create applewmproto.pc

Well that's not the most helpful error message. The config.status line printing the error seems to be:

eval sed \"\$ac_sed_extra\" "$ac_file_inputs" | $AWK -f "$ac_tmp/subs.awk" \
  >$ac_tmp/out || as_fn_error $? "could not create $ac_file" "$LINENO" 5

I can't reproduce the issue on Mojave.

I've had no issue either with this update, on two 10.15 machines and one running 10.13.

Is gawk working for you in general? Any difference if you deactivate it, clean xorg-xorgproto, and try again?

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

Not sure if you directed that at me or the OP, but I did not have the gawk port installed previously on the 10.15 machines. However, installing it, and then forcibly rebuilding and installing xorg-xorgproto worked fine also.

FYI, the error arrived after

port install frescobaldi-devel

So you might try that.

[haberg-1]

Also, xorg-server was successfully installed before, which also depends on xorg-xorgproto.

One can deactivate gawk and get further with xorg-xorgproto, but then 'port install xorg-libX11' fails.

Now I get error on port install libxml2, the log file starts with ":debug:sysinfo macOS 10.15 (darwin/19.0.0) arch i386", and i386 is not supported on MacOS 10.15: --> Computing dependencies for libxml2 ---> Fetching archive for libxml2 ---> Attempting to fetch libxml2-2.9.9_3.darwin_19.x86_64.tbz2 from ​https://packages.macports.org/libxml2 ---> Attempting to fetch libxml2-2.9.9_3.darwin_19.x86_64.tbz2 from ​http://nue.de.packages.macports.org/libxml2 ---> Attempting to fetch libxml2-2.9.9_3.darwin_19.x86_64.tbz2 from ​http://mse.uk.packages.macports.org/sites/packages.macports.org/libxml2 ---> Building libxml2 Error: Failed to build libxml2: command execution failed

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

Please do not mix up tickets with reports for multiple ports. If you have an issue with libxml2, submit a new ticket for that, and *always* include a complete log from a clean build attempt. The above messages tell us nothing.

It seems that the whole installation is broken, so it probably must be removed and reinstalled.
