vala @0.50.4 cannot be built on PPC Leopard because it seems to need a libcxx?

I can confirm that vala does build successfully with no tweaks.

36-9:~ arjuna$ port -v installed vala
The following ports are currently installed:
  vala @0.52.5_0 (active) requested_variants='' platform='darwin 9' archs='ppc' date='2021-12-13T05:14:47+0800'

Replying to barracuda156:

However it either is faulty or extremely slow. Basically anything involving vapigen hangs forever.

Can anyone confirm if it works normally or broken for everyone / for everyone on ppc?

Last weekend I could upgrade to vala @0.54.7_0 on PPC Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5.8)…

@barracuda156, can you confirm whether this is still an issue for you?

vala itself builds, I have just upgraded to @0.56.0, however vapigen does not seem functional. Is there some trivial port just to check if it works?

16. S. And what I am interested to know is whether you can use vala to build something else on PPC. vala itself builds with no tweaks for me.

As an example: libosinfo build freezes on:

GEN      libosinfo-1.0.vapi

I also cannot upgrade gexiv2 and gcr to the latest versions.

FYI, I've enabled tests for vala and vala-devel.

Based on local testing, you can expect some failures. But might give us more insight into the issue(s) you're dealing with. (If you choose to provide us with the logs, please attach them, rather than pasting the entire contents into a comment.)
