scribus-devel @1.5.7.svn-20201209_2 build fails on Monterey on Intel

[acrostich (Panda Mery)]

I upgraded from Big Sur to Monterey so went through the migration process except I didn't use the script but reinstalled all my old requested ports. Scribus-devel failed. I tried again after a clean, same build failure. The error in the logs is:

I'll update the port to a newer version but even the latest version doesn't seem to have changed this code much so I suspect we'll end up having to report it to the developers for them to fix.

scribus-devel: Update to 1.5.8.svn-20211215

See: #64290

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The new version ​built successfully on our automated builders running macOS 11 on arm64 and x86_64 and macOS 12 on arm64 so maybe there's a good chance it'll build on macOS 12 on x86_64 too. The other builders have a several-day backlog, and the macOS 12 x86_64 builder has a several-week backlog, so we won't know for some time if those builds succeed, but you can sudo port selfupdate and try to build the new version yourself.

This new version builds fine on Monterey on Intel. Thank you.

In the mean time, scribus-devel would not build anymore due to updates of the poppler port, so I updated scribus-devel to version 1.5.8 today. It built fine on our builders running macOS 10.14, 10.15, 11, and 12, but on macOS 13, we're seeing the same error reported in this ticket. I've now ​reported it to the developers.

scribus-devel: Fix build with pointer conversion

Closes: #64290

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

That commit did fix the pointer conversion issue but it turns out that wasn't the real problem. The real problem was that the build was happening for -arch i386. This became more obvious once the pointer conversion problem was fixed:

It turns out the scribus build system has hundreds of lines of code for identifying and handling each version of macOS, and when it encounters an unknown version of macOS on x86_64, it falls back to building for i386, which of course makes no sense. I need to report this bug to the developers.
