#74252: simdutf: Builds fail on macOS 10.14 Mojave and older
------------------------------------------------+---------------------
Reporter: jasonliu-- | Owner: (none)
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 2.12.5
Keywords: mojave highsierra sierra elcapitan | Port: simdutf
------------------------------------------------+---------------------
[https://ports.macports.org/port/simdutf/details/ Builds are failing] on
macOS 10.14 Mojave and older. This is affecting other ports which depend
on this port; for example, {{{virt-viewer}}} ← {{{vte}}} ← {{{simdutf}}}.
If the latest version of {{{simdutf}}} cannot be compiled on older
macOSes, then perhaps a versioned (sub)port that uses an older version of
{{{simdutf}}} might be needed in order to allow {{{vte}}} to be installed
on older macOSes?
This issue originates from ticket:74211 (closed: wontfix). In that ticket,
since it was stated that {{{vte}}} (and thus {{{simdutf}}}) is only needed
by {{{virt-viewer}}} for serial console support for SPICE, and can be
turned off through variants, then if {{{simdutf}}} really cannot be
compiled for Mojave and older, it may be better to simply close this
ticket and remove {{{+vte}}} as a default variant on Mojave and older in
the {{{virt-viewer}}} port.
