Comment (by RJVB):

 I'd appreciate it if you could build with the latest version (and cctools
 active).[[br]]
 (I'd also understand if you want to move on and just get the stuff built,
 i.e. with cctools deactivated.)

Comment (by rpspringuel):

 I'm happy to try things out in order to get the bug solved, I'm just in
 the middle of some other dev stuff at the same time so I have to plan out
 what gets built when in order to avoid overtaxing my system (I'm running a
 fairly old machine).

 OK, in that case please try the latest version of the attached patch.
 Fortunately audacity isn't the most expensive port to build from source.

Comment (by rpspringuel):

 Building with patch-python.3.diff completed with no errors, Audacity is
 finding the ffmpeg libraries, and it can open m4a files now.

Comment (by Iritscen):

 I haven't taken the time to try the patch yet, but it seems like this fix
 would be a high priority to implement, no?  For some reason, the commands
 in comment:12 did not work for me.  Deactivating cctools and then issuing
 "port clean" and "port install" commands for audacity resulted in the same
 archive-related error, as if cctools was still in effect.  What *did* work
 for me was to re-activate cctools, at which point it gave me the option to
 restore an older build of cctools that I still had on my system (several,
 in fact, but I went with cctools @886_6+llvm38 based on having read ticket
 #53449). I was then able to clean and build audacity successfully.

Comment (by rpspringuel):

 This problem just cropped back up when I updated all my ports, which
 included an update of Audacity to 2.1.3.  I don't have time right this
 minute to see if the fix from before (replacing python-patch.diff) works
 in this case, but I'll try that later in the week and report back (unless
 there's something else you want me to try this time).

Comment (by RJVB):

 Keep me posted. I rely on others to commit changes to my ports so can only
 hope they're committed completely.
