 Hi,
 I'm completely new to MacPorts, so first of all thank you very much for
 your effort.

 My system:\\
 MacOS 10.10\\
 Xcode 6.4 with CLT\\
 MacPorts 2.3.3

 Apart from Xcode, I set up everything especially to install asymptote on
 my computer.
 I tried to follow the guide and used 'sudo port install asymptote', which
 started to install a list of dependencies.
 It took a while, but apparently went fine, until the the installation of
 asymptote itself which didn't succeed.
 As recommended I tried to clean and redo it, and I also uninstalled and
 reinstalled, but the outcome didn't change.

 By using the trace mode during, this was prompted in Terminal:

 {{{
 --->  Configuring asymptote
 Warning: The following existing files were hidden from the build system by
 trace mode:
   /opt/local/bin/bison
   /opt/local/bin/flex
   /opt/local/bin/gm4
 --->  Building asymptote
 Warning: The following existing files were hidden from the build system by
 trace mode:
   /opt/local/bin/autoconf
   /opt/local/bin/automake
   /opt/local/bin/gawk
   /opt/local/bin/gmkdir
   /opt/local/bin/gsed
   /opt/local/bin/gunzip
   /opt/local/bin/pkg-config
 Error: org.macports.build for port asymptote returned: command execution
 failed
 }}}

 The log file of a clean install is attached as well, and I hope this
 ticket contains all necessary
 information to track down the issue.

 Thanks in advance!

Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 The error shown in the log is:

 {{{
 ld: warning: ignoring file gc-7.4.2/.libs/libgc.a, file was built for
 archive which is not the architecture being linked (i386):
 gc-7.4.2/.libs/libgc.a
 }}}

 I get the same error, when I try to build with the universal variant.
 Looks like that was not tested for this port and does not work here. Until
 that's fixed, you could build asymptote without the universal variant;
 that worked for me.
