Evan was kind enough to submit a PR, specifically to update meson for Tiger:

​PR 18675 - meson: update to 0.64.1 on Tiger

Can you test with that?

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

Probably tomorrow! (Which will be a legal holiday in Germoney.) I started to upgrade boost176, which needs some time…

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

I have to correct myself: I cannot. Because I do not know how to access the patch files. The Portfile should not be a problem, port will give me the necessary checksums.

Assuming you're not comfortable using Git, you can do it from GitHub. Go to the updates for Evan's PR branch, which is the following link (also accessible from the PR itself):

​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/compare/master...evanmiller:macports-ports:meson-tiger-0.64.1

Then you can download each patch individually.

There might be easier ways to do it - presumably there are mucho GUI tools for Git these days - but that's the easiest way I can think of.

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

How would it work with git? (I already had to clone, push, merge, diff, add…)

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

And pull!

[mascguy (Christopher Nielsen)]

Replying to ballapete:

Oh, it's easier then! Clone Evan's repo, then switch to the branch name for the PR:

$ git clone git@github.com:evanmiller/macports-ports.git macports-ports-evanmiller
$ cd macports-ports-evanmiller
$ git switch meson-tiger-0.64.1
$ cp -v -r devel/meson <your-dest-dir>

Browsers on Tiger, TenFourFox, cannot handle that site. And, to be honest, I have no idea how to download the patches on Ventura, copy&paste?

No, this is not easier, this is overkill: 346.10 MiB downloaded.

Performing this manually by selecting each "file" and then clicking on the download symbol has one problem: One can easily omit an entry! Controlling my downloads I think I have fetched them all, even one too many, patch-meson58-gcc-appleframeworks.diff (still unchanged, and not necessary for Meson 0.64). scp to Tiger OK and installation of these files finished.

Already built! Now testing Meson 0.64.

Stdout:

The problem with /usr/bin/nm vs./opt/local/bin/nm is well-known – and cannot be solved?

Since the X server in which GNU Emacs runs that hosts the test has some problem and is unresponsive I'll have to find access via SSH.

[evanmiller (Evan Miller)]

I think the test works about as well as we can expect. The Meson patches replace @rpath with @loader_path, which is not the same thing. This is why we need so many DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH workarounds in the Portfiles for Tiger. I'd be more interested in results from compiling ports. I had success with the short list mentioned in the PR.

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

I have these ports

at-spi2-atk
at-spi2-core
atk
dav1d
gdk-pixbuf2
glib2
gobject-introspection
gtk3
libepoxy
libxkbcommon
mesa
pango
shared-mime-info

that depend on

PortGroup           meson 1.0

Most of them could be re-built for a test…

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

Build of glib2 @2.76.2_1 with meson @0.64.1_0 fails, see here: #67451. Cause are code/configuration of glib.

In 77685f6bf9ff430984905af0c7ee0b2b83fd944b/macports-ports (master):

glib2: fix build on Tiger, remove legacysupport
