--------------------------------+--------------------
 Hi guys,

 libvpx had been failing to configure for approximately a week. port is up
 to date (2.4.2), I'm running 10.13.4 on an encrypted, journaled, case-
 sensitive APFS share. Xcode is @9.3 (9E145). MacPorts is located in
 /opt/macports, next to homebrew (/opt/homebrew). port is ahead in the
 $PATH and hb has only ever been used for casks.

 I get the following message when trying to build libvpx:
 {{{
 Error: Failed to configure libvpx, consult
 /opt/macports/var/macports/build/_opt_macports_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_multimedia_libvpx/libvpx/work/libvpx-1.7.0/config.log
 Error: Failed to configure libvpx: configure failure: command execution
 failed
 Error: See
 /opt/macports/var/macports/logs/_opt_macports_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_multimedia_libvpx/libvpx/main.log
 for details.
 Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.
 Error: Processing of port libvpx failed
 }}}

 I checked https://trac.macports.org/ticket/56113 and it seemed to
 configure fine using this:

 {{{
 ./configure --prefix=/opt/macports --enable-vp8 --enable-vp9 --enable-
 internal-stats --enable-pic --enable-postproc --enable-multithread
 --enable-runtime-cpu-detect --enable-experimental --enable-spatial-svc
 --enable-shared --disable-install-docs --disable-debug-libs --disable-
 examples --disable-unit-tests --target=x86_64-darwin-gcc
 }}}

 However I was unable to install it with {{{make install}}}, it returns
 {{{make[1]: Nothing to be done for `install'}}}. I guess I was overlooking
 something there.

 Finally I ran {{{sudo port -v install ld64 +ld64_xcode}}} like kencu
 suggested, cleaned once more, and the install was successful. I'm not sure
 what was wrong but I'm submitting the ticket in hope that it might help
 other or dbevans. The suggested main.log and config.log are attached.
 Didn't find an install log for the eventual success, the screen messages
 were the usual though. Thanks guys.
