Perhaps I missed it, but the error(s) seem like they have only to do with macports stuff, not cdecl sources itself.

If the issue is with cdecl itself, could somebody point me to the specific issue with cdecl?

[trustbyte]

Yes @paul-j-lucas, the issue
is with the Macports runners not the package itself.

If you are wondering why not the latest 18.6 is because that one fails with some parser.h error that I simply did not want to patch or whatever was need it.

[paul-j-lucas]

Well, if the issue isn't with cdecl itself, them I'm not sure why I was tagged.

As for cdecl 18.6, if you can send me the error output, I can fix it upstream.

About the 18.6 attached the entire debug build for it (same Portfile just the version and checksum changed).

This update only updates a Portfile. I don't know anything about Portfiles, so I can't make an informed decision as to whether this update should be approved or not. (I've never been asked before about approving a change to a Portfile.)

As for the : command not found, that's some weird Autotools caching bug that I thought I fixed a while ago — see SHA 62f90902. I never understood why it happens sometimes. It only ever occasionally happens on rebuilds. If you start from a clean slate, e.g., after a git clean -dfx, it should go away (or it always has in the past).

[trustbyte]

Well you are asked now :) and if you read a few minutes most likely you could Portfiles more than I.
Like for example those two libaries, ncurses and readline are they need it at runtime? Did I miss some other library?

As for your indication I do not know how to do that git clean -dfx in the build process and as such the error is persistent and is reproducible every time i do sudo port -dv test with that latest version. Let us try again when this package is updated to 18.7 or greater and see if the error persists.

[paul-j-lucas]

• ncurses is needed iff --disable-term-size is not given (i.e., by default).
• readline is needed iff --without-readline is not given (i.e., by default).

Are they needed at runtime? It depends if you link statically or dynamically. (That's universally true for any package and any libraries.)

[trustbyte]

Thanks, nothing more with this I guess.

As for your indication I do not know how to do that git clean -dfx in the build process ...

The other alternative is always to untar into a fresh directory.
