rev-upgrade reports libsdl_ttf as broken:

...so, it tries to rebuild it, but that fails with this error:

This looks like that common libtool error. Maybe it needs an autoreconf? Anyways I'm on Big Sur with Xcode 13.2.1

Incompatible library version: /opt/local/lib/libSDL_ttf-2.0.0.dylib requires version 12.0.0 or later, but /opt/local/lib/libSDL-1.2.0.dylib provides version 1.0.0

/opt/local/lib/libSDL-1.2.0.dylib (provided by the libsdl port) is now just a symlink to /opt/local/libexec/sdl12-compat/lib/libSDL-1.2.0.dylib (provided by the sdl12-compat port).

Its minor compatibility version should be 12.0.0, and that's what it is on my Catalina system, even after rebuilding from source or redownloading the binary:

$ otool -L /opt/local/libexec/sdl12-compat/lib/libSDL.dylib
/opt/local/libexec/sdl12-compat/lib/libSDL.dylib:

	/usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 228.0.0)

Evidently on your system the compatibility version has regressed to 1.0.0, and that should not be. Until that's fixed, nothing should be attempted with any port that depends on libsdl. Maybe fixing libsdl will fix this.

Try reinstalling the sdl12-compat binary:

sudo port -nb upgrade --force sdl12-compat

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

This looks like that common libtool error. Maybe it needs an autoreconf?

It doesn't sound a like a common libtool error; it sounds like something that needs libiconv and has forgotton to add -liconv to the link flags. However, let's fix whatever's wrong with your sdl12-compat first before thinking about the things that depend on it.

I tried this, but rev-upgrade still reports it as broken...

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I think this is a duplicate of #65768 and your ports are out of date? Run sudo port selfupdate to receive the fix.

libsdl_ttf: update to latest SDL-1.2 commit

Fixes: #65820

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

The silly thing is, showfont isn't even installed. This was a separate issue, but libSDL should still have compatibility_version 12.0.0 if you're up to date.

Ah yup you're right; that fixed it.
