Re: What have I forgotten about specifying which Perl should be /opt/local/bin/perl?
You got the link /opt/local/bin/perl -> perl5.28 from the default variant of perl5 as you did not specify which variant you wanted. $ port info perl5 perl5 @5.28.3 (lang) Sub-ports:perl5.16, perl5.18, perl5.20, perl5.22, perl5.24, perl5.26, perl5.28, perl5.30, perl5.32, perl5.34 Variants: perl5_26, [+]perl5_28, perl5_30, perl5_32, perl5_34 Description: Wrapper port for Perl 5.x Homepage: https://www.perl.org/ Library Dependencies: perl5.28 Platforms:darwin, freebsd, linux License: (Artistic-1 or GPL) Maintainers: Email: mo...@macports.org, GitHub: mojca Policy: openmaintainer You need to install perl5 +perl5_34 if you want 5.34. > On Jan 20, 2022, at 8:12 PM, Gabriel Rosenkoetter wrote: > > Aha! > > I didn't have the perl5 port installed on this system at all, just the > several perl5.xx ports.

What have I forgotten about specifying which Perl should be /opt/local/bin/perl?
I just did a `sudo port install perl5.34`, anticipating that doing so would "activate" it (and the build output indicated that step was taken), presumably bumping the /opt/local/bin/perl sym link to the new version and… apparently that was the wrong thing to assume, since that sym link no longer exists on this system?

gettext-tools-libs on macOS Sierra
Is anyone still using/building on Sierra? I've got a 2012 Mac mini that's frozen on Sierra (obsolete FireWire device/driver) with gettext @0.19.8.1_2+universal gettext-runtime @0.21_0+universal (active) gettext-tools-libs @0.21_0 (active) If I try to update anything that has a gexttext-tools-libs dependency in its tree (like gettext, glib2 and graphviz), it tries to build gettext-tools-libs @0.21_0+universal and croaks. Tried to clean both gettext and gettext-tools-libs but it still croaks. I then uninstalled gettext-tools-libs @0.21_0 but still get the same error(s). Not sure if this is something to file a bug report on in Trac or if it's operator error on my part? - Greg P.S.
