podofo @0.9.8_0 - Does it need a newer lua version?

[snowflake (Dave Evans)]

podofo failed with linking errors:

and many more.

I tested on El Capitan and Ventura.

I changed the default lua version in the lua portgroup:

diff --git a/_resources/port1.0/group/lua-1.0.tcl b/_resources/port1.0/group/lua-1.0.tcl
index 98dafea7d2c..56e203edaeb 100644

 # default Lua version

 # all Lua versions

and it now builds. I realise that this is a hack and it is not the recommended way to change it.

I do not know why the buildbots are succeeding where my local build failed.

Are you using trace mode, to rule out opportunistic use of non-dependencies?

You can get the buildbot logs at ​https://ports.macports.org/port/podofo/builds/ and compare them with yours to see what's different.

[snowflake (Dave Evans)]

On El Capitan, building in trace mode does work.

Cleaning the port and building without trace mode now also works, so whatever dependency it requires has now been installed. It remains a mystery as to what dependency has been installed by this process.

On Ventura, building in trace mode generates an Apple crash report. This may be caused by

/opt/local/var/macports/sip-workaround/501/usr/bin/sandbox-exec
/opt/local/var/macports/sip-workaround/502/usr/bin/sandbox-exec

not being codesigned

The error is
