I thought so.

Just FYI, I have no problem using any X apps from macports, even via
ssh. So get your environment straight first. This is not a macports
problem (and this might not be the best place to solve all of your
remaining problems).

Was everything OK before you swap XQuartz with xorg?

I decided to use org rather than XQuartz

But a check shows

ssh sandypit

[sandypit] /home/jam [1001]% xeyes
Error: Can't open display:

I have enabled auth 
ssh_config

Have you installed the Xcode command line tools and accepted the license?

configure error on compile ports

[rmgls]

Hello list,

Please can you tell me what to do about this error
(elinks but also many other compile)?


:info:configure checking for gcc... /usr/bin/clang
:info:configure checking for C compiler default output file name... 
:info:configure configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

some details:
osx11.2. new macports (/opt/local entirely deleted first).
gcc and clang correctly seated in /usr/bin and running fine.
xcode up-to-date, and commandline tools installed!

Thanks for your answer.

I uninstalled wxWidgets-3.0, gnuplot, maxima, and wxMaxima. Then installed 
wxWidgets-3.0 from source (port -s install wxWidgets-3.0). Then installed (not 
from source, but normally) gnuplot, maxima, and wxMaxima. 

Now I different problem: when I try to open wxMaxima.app, I get a pop-up error: 
locale ‘pa’ cannot be set.

If I dismiss that pop-up, then wxMaxima DOES open!

Correction:

  port install depof:whatever

(This is a new machine and I have not yet turned off the obnoxious autospelling 
correction.

I am just a MacPorts user, not a maintainer or anything, but I can tell you 
what I recently learned about building from source.  I also looked in the Guide 
and found nothing, but "man ports" mentioned source mode (among many, many, 
many other things).

Here is something to be aware of, though.  If you simply do

  port -s install whatever

then MacPorts wants to build all the prerequisites from source too, unless it 
happens to be installed already.  This is usually not what you want, because 
some of those prerequisites take a long time to build, and really, why do that 
instead of just the binary install for those?

What I eventually figured out was that I could first tell MacPorts to install 
the prerequisites, explicitly, and then after that do the source install of 
just what I am after.   The incantation I used for the former was

  port install depot:whatever

(Put sudo before the installs, of course.)

Hope this helps.

(1) There is no port “wxWidgets”, only:

  wxWidgets-3.0
  wxWidgets-common
  wxWidgets_select

Which one(s) do I need to build from source?

(2) And what about gnuplot, which will break if I uninstall wxWidgets-3.0?

(3) Is the build-from-source command “port -s [portname]? 

I’m not finding this documented at https://guide.macports.org 
.
