Comment (by spinicist):

 > Do you mean you need ''libVLC'' ? The port still installs the
 corresponding `.pc` files which are modified so that pkgconfig finds the
 requested library/ies inside the app bundle.

 somehow that goes awry it should suffice to install `port:VLC+universal`.

 I am now very confused.

 I do indeed need libvlc in order to compile another project (arcan). The
 page for the libvlc port (https://ports.macports.org/port/libVLC/) says it
 is obsolete and to install VLC instead. The VLC port only lists that
 x86_64 versions are available
 (https://ports.macports.org/port/VLC/details/).

 I installed the VLC port, and that did indeed come with an x86_64 version
 of libvlc, which the external project picked up and then complained it was
 the wrong architecture.

 I just tried doing `port install VLC +universal` and the same error
 occurred:

 ld: warning: ignoring file '/opt/local/libexec/vlc3/lib/libvlc.dylib':
 found architecture 'x86_64', required architecture 'arm64'

 Am I doing something wrong with the install command?
