 Replying to [comment:1 RJVB]:

 with building from source in a "MacPorts condoned fashion".

 By the way, are you okay if I modify **VLC2** port substantially? Or
 should I keep changes to the minimum?

 It is broken now, and if no one intends to use it for current macOS
 versions, I rather rewrite the thing to make it easily maintainable for
 systems without Qt5. Essentially, drop the stuff that does not work, use
 Qt4 and X11, remove libvlc2 subport etc.

 Alternatively, I can make VLC2-X11, for example, or however we call it, to
 implement support for older OS.

 (This only applies to VLC2; VLC3, if restored, should target new macOS.)
