darwinbuild @37: update to PureDarwin fork of darwinbuild

[cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)]

Currently darwinbuild fails to build on Catalina because it tries to build for i386, which is no longer supported. The main thing I had used darwinbuild for in the past was building PureDarwin, so when I raised this issue with them, they told me that they had their own fork of it: ​https://github.com/PureDarwin/PureDarwin/issues/53#issuecomment-657109554

The fork is many commits ahead of the MacOSForge one, and I managed to build it on my own, so it seems like updating to PureDarwin version of darwinbuild would be a good way to continue to support it in MacPorts: ​https://github.com/PureDarwin/darwinbuild

The latest tag is 1640.0.2: ​https://github.com/PureDarwin/darwinbuild/releases/tag/1640.0.2

Seems reasonable. Feel free to submit a pull request and, if you're interested in darwinbuild, to become the port's maintainer.

ok I've given it a try; preliminary Portfile is here: ​https://github.com/cooljeanius/LocalPorts/blob/master/devel/darwinbuild/Portfile

Unfortunately it fails building for me under MacPorts; output looks like this:

That sounds like #57137.

[barracuda156]

Unfortunately, some of their updated break down functionality on earlier systems: ​https://github.com/macosforge/darwinbuild/pull/142/commits/ff1c173232a0649714772d6bb92f7df7f1d88569 This then has to be restored with a patch on MP side.

That pull request hasn't been merged yet...

Edit: actually never mind, the pull request is against the macosforge version, so it's already part of the puredarwin version...

Then that has to be fixed if darwinbuild gets updated. Or someone has to fix it with puredarwin upstream.

Looked briefly at the code, apparently more things are broken: plists do not have arch settings, unless I miss something. We may need to restore quite a bit more than two files for Xcode 3.1 and 3.2.

Maybe it makes a better practical sense to have separate versions. Since this is a tool to build system components and nothing else, perhaps there is no benefit in using a much newer version, that will only increase a number of patches needed LOL

I mean, I want PowerPC supported in the current PureDarwin, of course. But until then, it may be sensible to update modern systems to modern version and peg older ones to the older (corresponding to the OS historically).

Separate versions as in completely separate Portfiles, or as in one as a subport of the other?

Because darwinbuild has NEVER WORKED in the 10 years I have been involved with MacPorts, ever, at all -- and who knows when (or if) it ever worked before that -- we don't want push more broken junk to the main MacPorts tree.

If you would like to start a working group to see if darwinbuild of any ilk might someday be resurrected, that sounds fine -- people can work away on it.

But please only bring something back to macports if it actually really does work on at least a few machines supported by macports.

There are a number of ports currently in the tree that have been added over the past year or two that are just junk, and although they may be of interest to a couple of folks, the main macports repo is no place for them.

libdispatch-legacy, xdarwintools, libcxx-powerpc, and others --- mostly-non-working, unmaintained noise.
