Comment (by RobK88):

 Ryan and Joshua -- Many thanks for all the feedback.

 I will definitely add a comment in the Portfile regarding the misuse of
 CPP.

 And I am planning to eliminate ALL the `reinplace` statements, when I
 incorporate all the patch files from the Debian Project.   And the first
 two `reinplace` statements are no longer needed because I added `PortGroup
 makefile 1.0` to the portfile.

 (FYI -- Debian never bothered deleting all the `register` keywords in the
 source.  As you know the `register` keyword has been deprecated in C++17.
 It will just compile fine on a compiler supporting C++17 but a warning
 message will be thrown.  I am debating whether to just keep `register` in
 the source.  It may help when the source is being compiled on older
 compilers).

 Ryan, thank you for your last comment!  I checked the logs, and you are
 right.  The Apple clang compiler does understand the -stdlib flag.  The
 code did compile but it failed to link due to missing symbols.  So I will
 need to add CXXFLAGS everywhere CPP is being used to link!  Duh!  I should
 have looked at the logs more carefully.

 And finally, I would be grateful if you could give me some advice
 regarding the homepage and master_sites.  The homepage for `unalz` has
 disappeared from the net.  But I can find in in the Wayback Machine.  So I
 could use that instead in the portfile.  But the link to the source is no
 longer available (even on the Wayback Machine).  I will keep looking for
 another website for the source code.  Alternatively, I could use the link
 to the source code at the Debian project.  (But then I will need to update
 the portfile accordingly since as you know Debian uses its own
 standardized format for source code filenames).  Or I could leave the
 portfile as is since Macports already has a copy of the source in its
 repos.
