libepoxy @1.5.10 stopped building on PPC Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4.11

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

In the last two weeks I started to upgrade my ports from Python 3.9 to Python 3.10:

libepoxy @1.5.9_2+python38 (active) requested_variants='+python38' platform='darwin 8' archs='ppc' date='2022-01-23T11:34:00+0100'

Today I tried to fix mesons wrong handling of nm arguments or handling of wrong nm arguments (the use of llvm-nm would be an alternative):

-    output = call_tool('nm', ['--extern-only', '--defined-only',

+    output = call_tool('nm', ['-a', '-U', '-P', libfilename])
     if not output:
         dummy_syms(outfilename)
         return

Since I recorded some time ago that meson has a problem with nm when building libepoxy I first tried to build this port again to see whether the fault persists with Python 3.10. But the build stops during configuration phase:

Checking for function "dlvsym" with dependency -ldl: NO 
Run-time dependency appleframeworks found: NO (tried framework)

test/meson.build:164:2: ERROR: Dependency "appleframeworks" not found, tried framework

A full log can be found at /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_nue.de.rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_graphics_libepoxy/libepoxy/work/build/meson-logs/meson-log.txt

This log file has at the end:

Run-time dependency appleframeworks found: NO (tried framework)

test/meson.build:164:2: ERROR: Dependency "appleframeworks" not found, tried framework

The test in test\meson.build is:

  162	# Apple
  163	if host_machine.system().contains('darwin')
  164	  opengl_dep = dependency('appleframeworks', modules: ['OpenGL', 'Carbon'], required: true)
  165	
  166	  cgl_tests = [
  167	    [ 'cgl_core', [ 'cgl_core.c' ] ],
  168	    [ 'cgl_epoxy_api', [ 'cgl_epoxy_api.c' ] ],
  169	  ]
  170	
  171	  foreach t: cgl_tests
  172	    test_name = t[0]
  173	    test_sources = t[1]
  174	
  175	    test(test_name,
  176	      executable(
  177	        test_name, test_sources,
  178	        c_args: test_cflags,
  179	        include_directories: libepoxy_inc,
  180	        dependencies: [ libepoxy_dep, opengl_dep ],
  181	      ),
  182	    )
  183	  endforeach
  184	endif

Is the cause of failure due to building libepoxy without Python support?

It built again now, so the ticket can be closed.
