Grace configure fails on Ventura

[Vahid999]

Hi,

When I sent the output (attached transcript.log) of

sudo port -d configure grace

to Chris Jones (​https://lists.macports.org/pipermail/macports-users/2022-November/051623.html), he wrote:

That now shows a different error to what you previously reported. It is now a failure when configuring grace

Please check for an open trac ticket for the error you see, and if not present open one

Thanks,
Vahid

The log says:

DEBUG: Skipping completed org.macports.configure (grace)

so it doesn't show us anything useful. Run sudo port clean grace, then try again, then attach the new main.log file if it fails again.

[Vahid999]

After cleaning and running install, I get the attached main.log, which points to llvm-10 as the source of error. But that is what I reported to the Forum and was told to make a ticket for grace failing the configure stage.

[Vahid999]

It did not allow me to attach main.log so I will attach it to my earlier message.

This ticket is about grace. If you have a log showing a failure of grace, attach it here. Your ticket about llvm-10 is #66272. Attach logs about problems with llvm-10 there.

This ticket is about grace because I was told by the MacPorts Forum (link cited in this thread) to file this ticket about grace. Since your assessment differs from the Forum, it is perhaps best to close this ticket and hope that any future fix for llvm-10 will resolve the grace installation issue.

Thanks,
Vahid

I tried this tonight on Ventura arm64:

% sudo port -f deactivate active

% sudo port -v -N install grace

I noticed first that llvm-10 was not requested in the list of ports to install, as you can see.

After that, all those ports built without trouble and grace was installed without any issues:

 % port -v installed grace
The following ports are currently installed:
  grace @5.1.25_5 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin 22' archs='arm64' date='2022-12-28T20:25:50-0800'

After installing xorg-server, xmgrace opened without troubles and on brief assessment appears to be functional.

Because this built easily for me here (although on arm64, admittedly) and because the attached failure log is for llvm-10 and not for grace, as you point out, I'm going to close this as "worksforme" and we can help you out further if you have trouble with grace in the future.

I realize you got a bit of the run-around, but we will indeed help you get up to speed if you are stuck.
