Comment (by panewt):

 Rene:

 Thank you for the back-story on this. It would seem like xxdiff ought to
 be removed from MacPorts on Mojave if it can't be installed, but maybe I
 am missing something here.

 I did as you suggested and aside from a few warnings (including the
 resParser_lex.h mentioned above), it compiled successfully. And I did use
 qt5 as you suggested. One small gotcha is that MacPort installed qmake at
 /opt/local/libexec/qt5/bin but does not adjust the PATH nor puts up a
 "note" after installing. Easy to adjust PATH but a bit of a waste of time
 figuring out "why it isn't there"

 The latest version I found on Martin Blais' site at bitbucket.org is dated
 22jun17 and has no version info. When built, it says it is 5.0b1. If I had
 read the commits better, I would have seen he bumped to 5.0 beta in
 November 2016. If I had know the latest was a beta (as in "my bad" for not
 reading), I probably would have tried to find the last 4.x version. But I
 figure I'll deal with it if/when I see a problem. I must admit, over 2
 years in beta with no changes in 2 years is interesting.

 I note that it appears to no longer need XQuartz as earlier versions did.

 And, yes, it was relatively straightforward which was appreciated. The
 most time consuming part was taking notes in case something did go wrong.

 Once again, my thanks for your help
