Comment (by akimd):

 Replying to [comment:3 ryandesign]:
 > In this new diff, you've removed the flex dependency. Is it no longer
 needed? I still see references to flex in the code and flex still gets
 detected by the configure script.

 No, I'm just an idiot...  Instead of starting from the Portfile as is
 known by MacPorts currently, I have stupidly made the diffs between
 MacPort and my local version, which was built from an obsolete copy of the
 Portfile.

 IOW, I went too fast in trying to help, and generated BS and useless work
 on your side :(

 > It's probably safer to continue to append to the dependencies, rather
 than overwriting them. None of the portgroups you currently include have
 their own dependencies, but maybe they will in the future, or maybe you'll
 want to change to a portgroup that already does. For example, you might
 want to switch from the cxx11-1.0 portgroup to the cxx11-1.1 portgroup,
 which does add its own dependencies in some situations.

 Please, do do whatever you think is right!

 > It seems like a new dependency yaml-cpp must be added; build fails
 without it.

 Yes, indeed, it is.  It worked on my side because it's installed.

 > Should we switch the python version to 3.6, since that's the latest
 version of python 3?

 That's entirely up to you: it works with both, so the answer to the
 question is rather: let's pick up the most frequent one these days on
 MacPorts.
