xrender Portfile contains unknown variable 'sysroot'

[martijn@…]

The xrender port contains an unknown variable "sysroot" that MacPorts complains about when trying to install or upgrade it. I had to edit the Portfile to get it to work (patch in diff -u format attached).

patch to fix 'sysroot' variable in xrender Portfile

[ryandesign@…]

The patch should not be applied. The ${sysroot} and ${prefix} variables are not even remotely equivalent.

The ${sysroot} variable exists in MacPorts as of 1.6.0. Please update to MacPorts 1.6.0 or later.

sudo port selfupdate

MacPorts 1.6.0 fails to build on Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Panther). The download link to the Panther release .dmg is invalid (404). Until 1.6.0 can be obtained on all supported systems, ports should not rely on 1.6.0 variables.
