ispell @3.4.00: error: implicit declaration of function 'ioctl' is invalid in C99

[bernardkelly (Bernard Kelly)]

Hi. Doing a port upgrade outdated on my Catalina (MacOS 10.15.7) machine, and the ispell upgrade failed. I uninstalled & cleaned the port, and tried to install it again, with the same result. Here's where I see the error (I'm attaching the full log to this ticket):

:info:build make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_github.com_macports_macports-ports_textproc_ispell/ispell/work/ispell-3.4.00'

I don't see any maintainer for this port, so I can't CC them.

Log file for attempted from-scratch installation of "ispell" port.

If you'd like to avoid these kinds of errors until we can get around to fixing them, downgrade to Xcode 11.x and the Xcode 11.x version of the command line tools.
