#73948: gnutls 3.8.13 fails to build on macOS 13 Intel due to crau/audit
compilation errors

 Priority:  Normal      |  Milestone:

 Keywords:              |       Port:  gnutls
------------------------+--------------------
 Summary
 gnutls 3.8.13 fails to build on macOS 13 Ventura (Intel) using Apple clang
 because of compile errors in audit.c caused by broken function prototypes
 in crau/crau.h.
 The failure occurs even when the -audit variant is specified, making the
 port currently uninstallable on this platform.
 Official binary archives for darwin_22 x86_64 are also unavailable (404),
 suggesting this issue affects MacPorts CI as well.

 Environment

 macOS: 13.7.8 Ventura
 Architecture: x86_64 (Intel Mac)
 MacPorts: 2.12.5
 Xcode Command Line Tools:

 Apple clang 14.0.3 (clang-1403.0.22.14.1)


 SDK: MacOSX13.sdk


 Port information

 Port: gnutls
 Version: 3.8.13_0
 Variants tested:

 default
 -audit


 Result: build failure in all cases


 Steps to reproduce
 Shellsudo port selfupdatesudo port clean --all gnutlssudo port install
 gnutls
 Also tested:
 Shellsudo port install gnutls -audit

 Actual result
 Build fails during compilation of audit.c with errors originating from
 crau/crau.h:
 Plain Text./crau/crau.h:263:60: error: expected ')'void
 crau_push_context(struct crau_context_stack_st *stack CRAU_MAYBE_UNUSED,
 long context CRAU_MAYBE_UNUSED)
 ^./crau/crau.h:263:6: error: conflicting types for
 'crau_push_context'...12 errors generated.
 Full failure always occurs in:
 lib/audit.c

 Notably, even when -audit is specified, audit.c is still compiled:
 Plain Textlibtool: compile: /usr/bin/clang ... -c audit.c

 Expected result

 gnutls should build successfully on macOS 13 Intel, or
 the -audit variant should correctly disable compilation of audit.c, or
 the port should be marked broken / installation blocked on affected
 platforms until fixed.


 Additional observations

 No binary archive exists for this version and platform:

 Plain Textgnutls-3.8.13_0.darwin_22.x86_64.tbz2 → 404
 This strongly suggests MacPorts CI is also unable to build this port
 successfully on darwin_22 (Intel).

 Rolling back the ports tree to a revision where gnutls is at 3.8.12 allows
 a clean build on the same system, confirming this is a regression
 introduced in 3.8.13 (likely related to the new crau audit code).


 Workaround
 Manually reverting the ports tree to a commit prior to the update to
 3.8.13 (i.e., keeping gnutls at 3.8.12) restores buildability.
 However, this is not acceptable as a long-term user workaround, and a
 proper fix in the Portfile or patch set is needed.

 Suggested actions
 One or more of the following:

 Patch crau/crau.h to make it compatible with Apple clang on macOS.
 Ensure the -audit variant truly disables audit-related sources.
 Temporarily revert the port to 3.8.12 on macOS Intel.
 Mark the port as broken on affected platforms until resolved.


 Reproducibility

 Reproducible 100% on macOS 13.7.8 (Intel)
 Clean MacPorts environment
 No local modifications
