by the way: the directory exists and the rights are set correctly.

Please attach the main.log. The relevant error is before the portion of the log you pasted.

We also see failures on the macOS 11, 12, and 13 buildbot workers.

On 11 and 12:

editline.c:1038:13: error: implicit declaration of function 'getpid' is invalid in C99 [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
        (void)kill(getpid(), s);
                   ^

On 13:

editline.c:1038:13: error: call to undeclared function 'getpid'; ISO C99 and later do not support implicit function declarations [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
        (void)kill(getpid(), s);
                   ^

Amazingly, this port was added to MacPorts 16 years ago and has never been updated so it's not surprising that code that old won't build anymore.

The project has continued to be updated but inexplicably no longer seems to provide any releases. Even the 0.3.0 release we are currently offering is not available from the project anymore. I'm ​inquiring about that with them.

This is the complete mail.log file for this.

Replying to ryandesign:

Please attach the main.log. The relevant error is before the portion of the log you pasted.

I attached the main.log file now. – Hope it helps.

Thanks!

Thanks. Your log shows the same errors we got on the buildbot.
