[Ranguvar (Devin Cofer)]

M1 Max MacBook Pro running macOS Monterey 12.0.1

Using MacPorts 2.7.1 from the installer package and trying to build neovim 0.5.1 Tried with both luajit 2.1.0-beta3_4 as well as luajit-openresty 2.1-20210510_1

main.log attached as well as main-openresty.log for the build with luajit-openresty

Python 3.10 and 3.9 are installed from MacPorts, 3.10 is selected, tried with 3.9 selected to no avail

build log with luajit-openresty

[l2dy (Zero King)]

Please try luajit @2.1.0-beta3_5, and if it doesn't work, try neovim-devel @20211106 with upgraded luajit.

[Ranguvar (Devin Cofer)]

luajit @2.1.0-beta3_5 does not seem to improve matters See clean build neovim.luajit-2.1.0-beta3_5.log

neovim-devel @20211106_0 with the same upgraded luajit appears to install but fails to run See clean build neovim-devel-20211106_0.luajit-2.1.0-beta3_5.log

When attempting to run nvim from nvim-devel, the return code is 134 The output is as follows:

dyld[30844]: symbol not found in flat namespace '_luaL_checkversion_' zsh: abort nvim

Did you upgrade your OS from Big Sur or an earlier version? If so, did you follow the migration instructions?

[Ranguvar (Devin Cofer)]

No, it’s a fresh install of 12.0 upgraded to 12.0.1, this computer does not support Big Sur.

Fresh install of MacPorts 2.7.1 as well.

[l2dy (Zero King)]

Looks similar to ​https://github.com/openzfsonosx/openzfs/pull/75, which means it could be an upstream issue specific to newer OS and/or Xcode.

[Ranguvar (Devin Cofer)]

After removing all dependencies, upgrading all ports, and re-attempting neovim @0.5.1_0, it is both building and running successfully

I am using luajit-openresty @2.1-20210510_1

Thanks for your attention!

I guess the problem was specific to your environment then, closing as invalid.
