doxygen @1.9.8_0 Fails to Build - Undefined symbols

[RobK88]

I am unable to upgrade or install doxygen to version @1.9.8_0 (from version 1.9.3_3) on Lion, Mtn Lion or High Sierra.

Since doxygen is now using clang-17 as a build dependency, I tried to build using clang-16 but got the same errors.

On Lion and Mtn Lion, one sees the following errors:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

  NOTE: a missing vtable usually means the first non-inline virtual member function has no definition.

[mascguy (Christopher Nielsen)]

This is the same issue that was previously logged against doxygen-devel: issue:65314

We'll likely need to use legacysupport - with macports-libcxx - to resolve this.

[Christopher Nielsen <mascguy@…>]

In 610b7cc0e3ff4596287bf8328df9c7bcba47e036/macports-ports (master):

doxygen: reconcile with doxygen-devel

• Cxx standard is now 2017, rather than 2014
• Use 'macports-libcxx', via 'legacysupport'

Fixes: #68529
