Dovecot will not compile (Sonoma 14.7.5, MacPorts 2.10.7, Intel). cstddef.h not found.

[Gerben Wierda]

(Don’t know if this is for MacPorts or MacPorts-Developers, so I’m posting on both, apologies)

When I update my MacPorts collection, I use a script that cleans MacPorts, then installs everything anew. That way, if for instance a port switches by  default from, say one version to another version of something it needs (say python) my port doesn’t keep the old version of that support (like python) around needlessly.

I am running macOS Sonoma (up to date) on an x86 Mac

Install of the set failed when dovecot failed to compile. So I cleaned it again and installed dovecot on a clean system by itself. This fails too:

Is there something I can do to fix this?
