You have a text file listing the ports you previously installed on macOS 11.

You have the instructions for how you created that file. You can use those same 
instructions, modifying the output filename, to create a new file listing the 
ports that are now installed on macOS 12.

Then you can compare the two files in your favorite editor or file comparison 
program.

Since you mentioned qt5, it has a bug which causes this message to appear.

If you mean downgrading back to macOS 11, that's not something Apple makes easy 
to do. I suppose you would erase the drive, reinstall macOS 11, then restore 
your latest Time Machine backup from before upgrading to macOS 12, losing any 
changes you had made after upgrading to macOS 12. Restoring a Time Machine 
backup also messes up the home directories of the macports user and of any user 
accounts created by ports you had installed, which must be manually fixed.

If you mean keeping your macOS 11 set of ports while staying on macOS 12, you 
could restore just /opt/local and /Applications/MacPorts and any MacPorts files 
from /Library/LaunchDaemons from your Time Machine backup. You can't use 
MacPorts to upgrade your ports then (until you reinstall MacPorts for macOS 12) 
but probably most of the ports compiled for macOS 11 will work as is on macOS 
12 if you don't touch them. You can then wait a month or two and then check if 
the issues you had encountered have been fixed (Cc yourself on the Trac tickets 
to be notified) and then try the migration process again.

If you mean getting the ports that aren't building on macOS 12 building on 
macOS 12, we'd all love to know. If you can provide solutions to those issues, 
please do.

Hi,

You are mixing up a number of different issues with different ports below. Your 
first port (all puns intended) of call should be

https://ports.macports.org 

look up the port in question, and then see if any of the active ports match 
what you see. If not, think about submitting  ticket as these are the best way 
to track issues.

e.g. For {lib}gcc11, it is known about

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/63677 

No resolution as of yet I am afraid.

cheers Chris

Hi, Chris,

Thanks a lot for your (almost instantaneous!) answer. I followed your advised 
and proceeded to migrate my MacPorts installation to macOS 12. I first upgraded 
to Xcode 13.1, and downloaded (from the Developer site) and installed the 13.1 
Command Tools, and then followed all the steps in the migration instructions. 
The only non-standard thing I did was to change macports.conf the build_arch to 
arm64 by adding the following line to it:

build_arch  arm64

 However, the last command (sudo ./restore_ports.tcl myports.txt) ended with 
the following error:

--->  Building libgcc11
Error: Failed to build libgcc11: command execution failed
Error: See 
/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_lang_gcc11/libgcc11/main.log

In fact, going through the command output in the Terminal window I found that 
the first warning about the macOS 12 SDK was here:

--->  Cleaning py39-widgetsnbextension
Warning: The macOS 12 SDK does not appear to be installed. Ports may not build 
correctly.
Warning: You can install it as part of the Xcode Command Line Tools package by 
running `xcode-select --install'.
--->  Computing dependencies for qt5-qtbase

I also found quite a few warnings to the effect that libgcc11 had failed to 
build before the last one.

I’m not sure what to do at this point. In particular:

1. Is there an easy check which ones of my previously installed ports weren’t 
installed?

2. Why was port complaining that the macOS 12 SDK wasn’t installed, if I did 
install the 13.1 command line tools manually (from a package)?

3. Why did libgcc11 failed to build, and how could that be fixed?

3. What should I do to restore my previous installation (i.e., should I start 
from scratch or could I just install the ports that weren’t installed in the 
first run, provided I find out which ones were they)?

Thanks in advance,

Artemio

Yes you do. You should always follow the migration instructions under

do I have to reinstall my ports after upgrading to Monterey?

[Artemio González López via macports-users]

I just installed macOS 12.0.1 on an M1 MacBook Pro 13” from last year, and I 
was wondering if it’s necessary to reinstall all my ports (which I installed 
under Big Sur) after the update (they seem to be running just fine).

Thanks a lot in advance,

Artemio
