mpkg build with Apple Silicon

[macports at arcict.com]

Hello,

Thank you for your replies!

The packages are nginx, php83, php83-fpm, nghttp2, certbot and 
certbot-nginx.
I built these packages on two different Apple Silicon Macs without 
Rosetta 2 installed.
Each mpkg installer presents me the message to install Rosetta (see 
attached screenshot).



This is how I setup MacPorts and create the mpkg files (in this case 
there is no port file used):
		⁃	curl 
https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.10.5.tar.bz2 > 
~/Desktop/MacPorts-2.10.5.tar.bz2 && tar -xf 
~/Desktop/MacPorts-2.10.5.tar.bz2 && mv ~/MacPorts-2.10.5 ~/Desktop && 
rm ~/Desktop/MacPorts-2.10.5.tar.bz2 && open 
https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/

		⁃	xcode-select --install		

		⁃	cd ~/Desktop/MacPorts-2.10.5 && export 
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin && 
MP_PREFIX=/opt/macports-bin-pkg-version &&	./configure 
--prefix=$MP_PREFIX --with-applications-dir=$MP_PREFIX/Applications 
--without-startupitems && make && sudo make install

		⁃	sudo vi /etc/paths
		⁃		add on the bottom: /opt/macports-bin-pkg-version/bin

		⁃	vi ~/.zprofile
		⁃		add: export 
PATH="/opt/macports-bin-pkg-version/bin:/opt/macports-bin-pkg-version/sbin:$PATH"

		⁃	quit and reopen the terminal

		⁃	sudo port -d selfupdate


		⁃	sudo port mpkg nginx && sudo port work nginx
		⁃	sudo port mpkg nghttp2 && sudo port work nghttp2
		⁃	sudo port mpkg php83 && sudo port work php83
		⁃	sudo port mpkg php83-fpm && sudo port work php83-fpm
		⁃	sudo port mpkg certbot && sudo port work certbot
		⁃	sudo port mpkg certbot-nginx && sudo port work certbot-nginx
