Alacritty @0.7.2: destroot error on Apple M1 Silicon

[jianli-github (Jian Li)]

Hi!

I saw the following error when building alacritty for Apple M1 Mac Mini

:debug:destroot Executing org.macports.destroot (alacritty)
:error:destroot Failed to destroot alacritty: error renaming "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_aqua_alacritty/alacritty/work/alacritty-0.7.2/target/arm64-apple-darwin/release/alacritty": no such file or directory

I double checked the build directory, and it turns out there is folder name mismatch for the target, it seems like the Porfile was expecting the ${build_arch} to be arm64, whereas the target folder from the build is actually aarch64. I manually hacked the Portfile with a hardcoded aarch64 in place of ${build_arch} and the build was successful.

Maybe either the Porfile or the build scripts need to agree on the architecture naming when building for Apple M1 Silicon for the desroot?

Thanks, Jian

In 83d64452682712ccdedd44fc11b4f5d7f06db620/macports-ports (master):

alacritty: set appropriate release dir as per architecture

See: #62649

[herbygillot (Herby Gillot)]

OK, I've committed a change that should do the right thing across all architectures. It might take a while to propagate to the mirrors, but perhaps you can try seeing if this works in a few hours.

[jianli-github (Jian Li)]

Thanks! I confirm the fix works now.

Portfile changed since last build; discarding previous state.

OK excellent. Closing this out.
