Comment:
In the log I see:
{{{
xcode-select: error: tool 'bison' requires Xcode, but active developer
directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools
instance
}}}
So this port probably needs a dependency on the bison port. You can
install the bison port and see if that allows the port to build.
