Your python is throwing an OSError. Build passes on my systems running 14.2 and also the build bots so most likely your system is at fault. I need the specific error your python threw to maybe understand what's going on but first you can try reinstalling python.

You have something installed in /usr/local that is killing python:

1031	:info:configure   File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/lib/python3.11/pathlib.py", line 1013, in stat
1032	:info:configure     return os.stat(self, follow_symlinks=follow_symlinks)
1033	:info:configure            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1034	:info:configure PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/libm.a'

so at least move it out of the way, if not remove everything in user local, which is what MacPorts recommends.

Impossible. Look:

MLO@Strider 1 $ ls /usr/local/lib/
audacity		libdvdcss.a		libdvdcss.la
libdvdcss.2.dylib	libdvdcss.dylib
MLO@Strider 2 $ 

so at least move it out of the way, if not remove everything in user local, which is what MacPorts recommends.

[kencu (Ken)]

what is installed in /usr/local exactly?

[MaurizioLoreti]

In /usr/local/lib: libdvdcss, audacity/ffmpeg. In /usr/loca/bin: exiftool, gpg, pdftk.

[kencu (Ken)]

ok. you seem to want to keep those there, and you are repeatedly getting this python error

1034	:info:configure PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/libm.a'

and nobody else can reproduce the issue.

It seems likely this error is being caused by something you have installed in /usr/local.

At least move it out of the way and retry the build.

Otherwise, let us know how you solved it one day if you like.

OK, I sudo mv'ed lib and bin to a different name; now mpv has been conffigured and built. Sorry for all, and thank you for your immediate help.

[kencu (Ken)]

very happy you got it done.

it is insidious how things in there can affect builds -- often not obvious at all...
