ghostscript @9.52 does build with error on Big Sur, macOS 11.0.1

First:

Warning: reinplace s|/usr/bin/perl|/opt/local/bin/perl| didn't change anything in /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_print_ghostscript/ghostscript/work/ghostpdl-9.52/pcl/tools/gl2_chars.pl

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Reinplace not changing anything should be fixed but is not necessarily a problem. Could you attach the main.log file so that we can see what the real cause of the build failure was?

Note, the port will be updated shortly: ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/9118

Not yet. I am trying to reinstall ffmpeg (in order to be able to listen to internet radio). I'll try to build ghostscript once more before a port selfupdate!

Main.log from build on Big Sur

Although

checking for local jbig2dec library source... no
checking for jbig2dec 0.16 with pkg-config... yes

On lines # 8880/8881 the script has

$as_echo_n "checking for jbig2dec $JBIG2DEC_REQ with pkg-config... " >&6; }

$JBIG2DEC_REQ is set to be 0.16 – so a text "is at least" might help prevent misunderstandings…

Patch to help configure say "is at least"

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I don't think we need such a patch. If you think the wording of the configure message should be changed, send the patch to the developers.

Is that the complete main.log? I don't see an error in it or any indication of why the build failed.

Please sudo port selfupdate and try with the latest versions. We're up to ghostscript 9.53.3 and jbig2dec 0.19 now.

Ghostscript built from beginning. Since it was then quite silent I saw the report about the unnecessary reinplace.

The up-to-date ports build fine, ghostscript still has Warning: reinplace s|/usr/bin/perl|/opt/local/bin/perl| didn't change anything in /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_print_ghostscript/ghostscript/work/ghostpdl-9.53.3/pcl/tools/gl2_chars.pl`.
