Darktable fails to install with the following error, although I am able to install both rav1e and cargo-c.

$ sudo port clean darktable
$ sudo port install darktable
--->  Computing dependencies for darktable
Error: Cannot install rav1e for the archs 'arm64 x86_64' because
Error: its dependency cargo-c does not build for the required archs by default
Error: and does not have a universal variant.
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets if you believe there is a bug.
Error: Processing of port darktable failed

I tried installing the dependencies and attempting the darktable install again, but the error is as above.

$ port installed cargo-c
The following ports are currently installed:
  cargo-c @0.9.5_0 (active)
$ port installed rav1e
The following ports are currently installed:
  rav1e @0.5.1_0 (active)

Is this still an issue?

[jason-azze (Jason Azze)]

I just tested again, and this particular problem appears to be solved.

sudo port install darktable

completes without error.

Unfortunately, it doesn't result in a runnable Darktable on Apple silicon, but this is probably an upstream issue.

$ darktable
[dt_detect_cpu_features] Not implemented for this architecture.
[dt_detect_cpu_features] Please contribute a patch.
[dt_init] SSE2 instruction set is unavailable.
[dt_init] expect a LOT of functionality to be broken. you have been warned.

I think this issue can be closed.

The display-related warning looks like an X11 issue. Do you have other X11-based GUI ports that work?

Also, do you have xorg-server installed?

[jason-azze (Jason Azze)]

I don't have any other GUI ports installed at all. (I'd be willing to test one.)

I did not have xorg-server installed. I installed and and tried darktable again, but the errors persist.

Per some instructions in comment:2:issue:59003, try the following:

• Logout and login again
• Navigate to folder MacPorts, contained within Applications. There should be an app named X11; open that. (I'm not sure whether you have to run X11 manually each time, but let's run it for this test.)
• Keep X11 running in the background
• From the MacPorts folder, open Darktable

Let me know if that works. If not, there are some additional things we can try.

[mascguy (Christopher Nielsen)]

Closing as fixed, since the original issue has been resolved.

Did the previous suggestions help, relative to starting the app?
