zig-0.13.0_0.darwin_24.arm64.tbz2 missing from repos?

[inflatador (Brian King)]

Hello MacPorts team,

I'm having trouble installing ​zig on my Apple Silicon Macbook running Sequoia.

The errors logged are: :

info:archivefetch --->  zig-0.13.0_0.darwin_17.x86_64.tbz2 doesn't seem to exist in /opt/local/var/macports/incoming/verified
:msg:archivefetch --->  Attempting to fetch zig-0.13.0_0.darwin_17.x86_64.tbz2 from http://packages.macports.org/zig

If I go to the ​the zig package webpage, I see a zig-0.13.0_0.darwin_24 for x86, but not one for arm64.

Thanks for looking! Please let me know if you need more info.

Missing archives are not a bug.

If the port fails to build, that's a bug; please attach the main.log file so we can investigate why it failed to build.

My apologies for not attaching it sooner. I've added it now.

Please let me know if you need more info.

Actually, if the missing archives don't represent a problem, then the problem is likely due to my own MacPorts installation (see also Trac ticket:71702). As such, feel free to close out this ticket.

The missing archives represent either that we could not build the port on our build system or, in the case of macOS 15 on arm64, that we do not have a build machine set up for that yet.

Your log shows that a build failure occurred on macOS 10.13 (Darwin 17). Then, you upgraded to macOS 15 (Darwin 24) and resumed trying to build this port without cleaning it first; unsurprisingly, this failed, since there are quite a few differences between those OS versions and the information the build originally gathered about your OS when it was running macOS 10.13 is not applicable now that you're on macOS 15.

So there may be a valid bug report for macOS 10.13 to be had here but since you've already upgraded past that OS fixing it won't help you. In fact the port has already been updated to indicate that it requires macOS 11 (Darwin 20) or later. #66590 was a ticket that looks like your failure on 10.13, which was closed by making the port require a newer macOS.

Your current build failure on macOS 15 should be solved by removing the macOS 10.13 build attempt (using sudo port clean zig) and trying again. Cleaning and trying again is the first step in the ​ticket filing guidelines linked in a big red box at the top of the new ticket page. If that still doesn't build, it will at least generate a new log file with relevant information that you could attach to this ticket.
