I have been experimenting with building my M2VDownsizer port on other Macs running newer MacOS. M2VDownsizer uses a Makefile to build the binary from source code written in C. (see PR https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/15636 )
I find that on newer Macs (e.g. 10.13), the following linker warning messages are often generated: ld: warning: text-based stub file /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/LaunchServices.tbd and library file /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/LaunchServices are out of sync. Falling back to library file for linking. I can get rid of these warning messages if I include the following in the Portfile: set MAJOR_MACOS_VERSION [ exec sh -c { sw_vers -productVersion | cut -d '.' -f 1,2 } ] set SDK_PATH [ exec xcrun --show-sdk-path ] configure.cflags-append -mmacosx-version-min=${MAJOR_MACOS_VERSION} configure.cflags-append -isysroot ${SDK_PATH} The port builds just fine unless one uses trace mode. i.e. sudo port -vst install M2VDwnsizer I suspect that setting SYSROOT using -isysroot interferes with MacPorts trace mode. I will probably just delete the extra statements above from the Portfile and just live with the warning messages. Has anyone else dealt with this issue? Rob
