 I followed your instructions and was able to run Cherrytree without any
 issues **other than the segmentation fault when quitting**. I didn't even
 need to use 'lldb' debugger.

 {{{
 % cherrytree

 base_query.type_name is NULL.

 }}}

 {{{

 I re-edited the config file and removed the 'configure.optflags -g' and
 reinstalled Cherrytree a variety of ways with no success!

 {{{
 sudo port -s install cherrytree
 sudo port -v -s -k install cherrytree
 sudo port -v -s -k install cherrytree +debug
 }}}

 It always resulted in a segmentation fault upon launch and the app not
 running.
 {{{
 [2022-09-16 15:06:43.540] [gtk] [critical] Class::register_derived_type():
 base_query.type_name is NULL.
 zsh: segmentation fault  cherrytree
 }}}

 Through process of elimination, if I simply added the 'configure.optflags
 -g' back and reinstalled Cherrytree normally, it would run again fine!

 {{{
 % sudo port install cherrytree
 }}}
 **
 TLDR: What is it about that flag that fixes it for me?**
