macOS Sonoma Problems
General Issues
First of all, please read Migration.
Updating MacPorts Base
MacPorts must be re-installed in a version configured for macOS 14 Sonoma.
Ensure you have Xcode 15.0 or greater installed and selected (e.g. sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer), and that you have the command line tools installed (xcode-select --install). You also have to agree to the license by running sudo xcodebuild -license.
There have been reports that the -license option might not be sufficient alone, and following command might be required to agree to the license: sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch
Trace mode not working
Building ports in trace mode (i.e. with the -t option) will fail on Sonoma. This appears to be due to new security features in Ventura+. This issue is being followed in Ticket: #66358
Rosetta 2 and build_arch
MacPorts defaults to building for the architecture that it is running as. If you have a universal MacPorts installation on an Apple Silicon Mac, and you run it from a terminal emulator that is not a native arm64 binary, MacPorts will end up being run as x86_64, and will build ports accordingly, which can be unexpected. This can be corrected by explicitly setting build_arch arm64 in macports.conf, or by using a native terminal emulator.
A number of MacPorts portfiles and MacPorts base assume that arm64 Macs will have Rosetta 2 installed; you will likely run into issues if you have not installed it. Note that Rosetta 2 is not installed by default, or when running x86_64 binaries from the command line — you must open an application that has only x86_64 code in it to get the prompt to install Rosetta 2, or run softwareupdate --install-rosetta in a terminal window.
