scriptix build fails: Undefined symbols: "GC_throw_bad_alloc()"

[barracuda156]

Existing version is broken across the board: ​https://ports.macports.org/port/scriptix/details/

On 10.6.8 Rosetta the failure is:

scriptix is only used by the awemud port.

My understanding is that scriptix 0.31 is the final standalone version of scriptix. After that, scriptix merged with awemud: ​https://web.archive.org/web/20070505004116/http://awemud.net/index.php?page=news&article=74

The latest version of awemud on SourceForge is 0.25 from 2006: ​https://sourceforge.net/projects/awemud/files/awemud-ng/

Here is the last version of the awemud homepage from 2007: ​https://web.archive.org/web/20070602103228/http://awemud.net/

As of January 2009, the awemud homepage redirected to the sourcemud homepage.

Here is the last version of the sourcemud homepage from 2011: ​https://web.archive.org/web/20110905030825/http://sourcemud.org/

Looks like the last version of sourcemud was 0.0.2 from 2008: ​https://web.archive.org/web/20090406185256/http://sourcemud.org/files/?mod=files

I found a GitHub project for sourcemud that says it is deprecated and dead: ​https://github.com/elanthis/sourcemud

So we could either update awemud to the latest version and mark the scriptix port as being replaced by it, or we could mark both as replaced by a new sourcemud port, or just delete both awemud and scriptix.

Thank you for responding!

I sort of accidentally noticed scriptix as being broken for all systems and its website being dead and initially wanted to open a ticket to remove it. Then I decided to see what is going wrong with it, tried to build, got this error, found solution, it actually fixed the build on 10.6.8. Opened a PR: ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/15921/files – but on new systems it fails to build. I am not specifically interested in this port, so any solution is fine. I can close that PR, if the port will be either removed or replaced.
