Comment (by tomio-arisaka):

 I tried to install GATE 8.2 on macOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra).

 I cannot install the current version of root6 because C++17 is required.
 So I decided to install the version 6.28.08 of root6 with an old portfile
 as follows:

 (1) get an old portfile for the version 6.28.08 of root6:

 {{{
 $ curl -LOR https://raw.githubusercontent.com/macports/macports-
 ports/696a569f833b4b339c660bffe525196638791454/science/root6/Portfile
 }}}

 (2) apply the next patch to the downloaded portfile:


 {{{

 (3) build root6-6.28.08 with the patched portfile:

 {{{
 $ sudo port install root6 configure.compiler=macports-clang-17
 }}}
   "{{{configure.compiler=macports-clang-17}}}" option means that I need a
 new clang due to my old macOS, so I guess you don't need it.

 I installed GATE 8.2 as follows:

 (1) apply the next patch to a copy of the GATE portfile:

 (2) build GATE 8.2 with the patched portfile:

 I am not familiar with GATE, but I checked that it worked with the next
 example:\\
