Aseprite install fails in MacOS Sequoia

[v4iv (Vaibhav Sharma)]

After updating macports to Sequoia, the migration of Aseprite fails, and Aseprite build fails as well while fresh installing.

I get the following errors:

Yes, I'm in the process of building the port to reproduce the issue. Once I do, I plan to see if changing the deployment target to 14 works around the problem. Once I know the answer to that, I'll ​file a bug report with the developers. If someone else wants to test it and finds the answer before I do, they can file the bug report.

how do I change the deployment target?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Edit the Aseprite Portfile (port file Aseprite) and add these lines at the end:

if {[vercmp ${macosx_deployment_target} >= 15.0]} {
    macosx_deployment_target 14.0
}

Thanks! This worked! I know it's a workaround but still at least it worked!

I had no idea how prevalent this API was. I knew they were killing it, but wow, literally everyone that does a GUI toolkit or writes to the screen.
