I have recently installed macports to which i am a big fan. I have had no issues on my previous mac running MAC OSX Yosemite ( Macbook Pro mid 2011 ), i have just bought a new Macbook Pro mid 2015 Model Identifier:MacBookPro11,5

I installed xcode then command line tools as well as developer tools then Macports . Install was easy enough , i used the source download to install 1st time round.. i made sure my profile path was updated.

'''My Profile :- '''\\

#!/usr/bin/bash \\ # MacPort \\ export PATH="/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH" \\

I also installed Quartz as i do use this a fair amount .. \\

OS = MAC OSX Yosemite 10.10.5 \\ Xcode = Xcode 7 Beta \\ Command line Tools = Command Line Tools OSX 10.10 for Xcode 7 beta 6 \\ Quartz = XQuartz-2.7.7 \\ MacPorts = MacPorts-2.3.3.tar.bz2 \\

I then tried to install minicom @2.7 & i got this output from my screen :-

Thanks in advance \\ Regards \\ Jimbo :) -- Comment: I am not certain whether "`can't read "{os.platform}": no such variable`" is a relevant or correct error. MacPorts sometime prints an incorrect error at the end of a failed operation. I don't know what port it thinks the problem is in. `os.platform` is a variable that exists in MacPorts. Only a handful of ports use it, and glancing at the code I don't see any that use it improperly. So I am inclined to ignore this error. The error "`org.macports.install for port pkgconfig returned: no destroot found at: ...`" is definitely relevant. This error means you must clean the affected port and try again. In this case: run "`sudo port clean pkgconfig`". Cleaning and trying again is the first thing you should do anytime any port fails. Ports should not normally be broken. I suspect the reason why MacPorts thinks minicom is broken on your system is that minicom uses ncurses, though it does not declare a dependency on it, and so it needs to be rebuilt following the recent update of ncurses to version 6. I fixed this in r140150. To receive this change, wait 30 minutes, then run "`sudo port selfupdate`". Then you can "`sudo port upgrade outdated`" to rebuild minicom. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48811#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

#48811: minicom @2.7 Error: rev-upgrade failed: can't read "{os.platform}": no such variable -------------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: bustamitenator@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: minicom | -------------------------------+-------------------------- Comment (by bustamitenator@…): Good Afternoon Ryandesign :) Thankyou for the feedback , I thought I had responded to the previous comment but obviously I failed, here is the response I posted last time. I did wonder why it was taking a little while to get a response :) my previous post below :- I think i have understood what you have said , I did run the port clean as per pre-requisites for ticket & have done what you have asked as follows :- I did not manage to get around to having a go at this util late last night so I ran the sudo port clean pkgconfig & it was the instruction after i was not certain of, i was not sure if you meant to sudo port install pkgconfig or minicom after waiting , so i ran the sudo port install minicom again & still no go. I ran the sudo port clean --all minicom & sudo port clean --all pkgconfig just to make sure all were cleared & then ran the sudo port selfupdate command as suggested , this went fine.. I then ran the sudo port upgrade outdated & this kicked back some errors.. I then ignored those as i do not have any ports installed & then tried to re-install pkgconfig & minicom again but this time all i get is unable to read os.platform.
