Comment (by mascguy):

 Thanks Ryan, that fixes the dependency issue.

 Unfortunately, builds are still failing across-the-board, due to C++
 compilation issues. It looks like it's a matter of updating the port to
 use a newer C++ standard, and ensuring the various flags are properly
 passed down.

 However, the portfile could also use some additional work: There are two
 compilation passes, and the second one runs during the destroot phase.
 Instead, we should use a custom build phase, and run both passes during
 that.

 So, the question is: Given the various other deep-learning tools available
 - most notably, PyTorch - is this port still needed/relevant? It hasn't
 been building since at least 2019, and no users have reported the build
 failures... suggesting nobody is using it.

 And I'd prefer not to see anyone waste time on getting this port to build,
 if it'll never be utilized.

 Thoughts?
