blackbox @0.75 does not build on Big Sur, macOS 11.0.1, because of "Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "_libiconv", referenced from:"

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

The port has a dependency to libiconv, but configure does not check for its existence and there is nowhere supplied libiconv to the compiler. configure knows:

  --with-libiconv-prefix[=DIR]  search for libiconv in DIR/include and DIR/lib
  --without-libiconv-prefix     don't search for libiconv in includedir and libdir
  --with-libintl-prefix[=DIR]  search for libintl in DIR/include and DIR/lib
  --without-libintl-prefix     don't search for libintl in includedir and libdir

– could be any of these can help…

It's probably the usual libtool bug on macOS 11+; patch is in libtool port.

In baf9f73fd0e567bd20fd55aed08a643a03f89dd7/macports-ports (master):

blackbox: Update to 0.76; fix libtool bug

Closes: #61485

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I did not test that fix on macOS 11 but it is the usual fix for this issue. Let me know if that didn't fix it.

This patch works as well:

If you believe that's the correct fix, you should submit it to the developers of blackbox.

With blackbox @0.76 and dynamic_lookup-11.patch build happens without problem (and without my patch).
