Please consider porting these packages to MacPorts instead.

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/sigrok-cli.rb
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/libsigrok.rb
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/libsigrokdecode.rb

Guide: https://guide.macports.org/#reference

Pulseview doesn't have a formula in the main tree, but it's Qt based so 
use the qt5 or 6 portgroup:

Of course we have tons of examples in MacPorts.
