graphviz-gui @9.0.0_0 unable to build on MacOS Sonoma

[edwardmoon (Edward Moon)]

Running Mac OS Sonoma 14.2.1 on a Mac Book Pro (M3 Pro cpu).

I was able to build and install graphviz but get errors trying to build graphviz-gui.

Output of port command:

:info:build A required plugin failed to load. Please ensure system content is up-to-date — try running 'xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch'.

Please try that command.

Sorry for the late reply.

It looks like the xcodebuild command fixed the issue:

excellent.

Indeed, building software has many moving parts, and having MacPorts test for each thing to be correctly set up has turned out to be difficult.

If you can think up a test for this issue to add to "port diagnose" that would be great.
