Re: installation of youtube-dl

Giuliano,

By running Xcode 15.4, I assume you are building on MacOS Sonoma or later.

It seems that youtube-dl requires python2.7.   This is not in the build depends or the regular depends for that package.  I think it assumes an older OS which had python 2.7 installed by default.

So make a copy of the youtube-dl into your local tree.  Edit it to have a depends on python 2.7.  Then find which script has the explicit path to python2.7 and change it from "/usr/bin/python2.7” to /opt/sw/bin/python2.7.

If that then builds, then create a patch that edits that script changing /usr/bin/python2.7 to %p/bin/python2.7

Submit the updates to the maintainers.
