Hi. Autoconf bombs out with the amusing message "error: Unable to determine bits per byte, see config.log for details.".

| Summary: | scheme48 fails to build on Sequoia → scheme48 @1.9.2: error: Unable to determine bits per byte, see config.log for details |
The reason why this configure test failed, per the config.log, is:
configure:3310: checking bits per byte
configure:3336: /usr/bin/clang -o conftest -pipe -Os -isysroot/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX15.sdk -arch arm64 -isystem/opt/local/include -isysroot/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX15.sdk -L/opt/local/lib -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names -Wl,-syslibroot,/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX15.sdk -arch arm64 conftest.c >&5
conftest.c:12:3: error: type specifier missing, defaults to 'int'; ISO C99 and later do not support implicit int [-Wimplicit-int]
12 | main()
| ^
| int
1 error generated.
configure:3336: $? = 1
configure: program exited with status 1
Unfortunately scheme48 development appears to have ended in 2014 so I don't expect a fix from the developers but this problem is typically easy enough to patch.

Yeah, tweaking the configure file to have proper type signatures on those main()s works. I'll file a bug on github anyway, just in case. Thanks!

1.9.3 has been released with this problem corrected.

Oh great! I'm working on updating the port. I'm getting a texlive-related build failure and I also don't know yet whether I should enable its optional glib support.
Did you really file a bug report on GitHub? I did not find any links to GitHub on their web site, only an email address for reporting bugs.

Sorry, github was a brainfart on my part; what's there is just an exploded tarball of the release. I posted to the mailing list for reporting bugs, and went from there.
Please attach the config.log.
