When using the latest Big Sur install with xCode 13 the command 
sudo port install autoconf automake \
   libtool pkgconfig texinfo gcc5 asciidoc \
   fftw-3-single +gcc5 libusb-devel
fails when trying to install libgcc7 
it looks like this is an old version of gcc that may have an issue on Big Sur now, am I able to use gcc10 to build
I know that other developers are building for the Apple M1 processor what tool chains are you using please.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Mark,

ah OK, yes I forgot about that. You can't build libgcc7, which is a dependency for virtually all of the gcc version builds, on Big Sur. That means that it is not possible to build WSJT-X on Big Sur until we get the refactoring done that works around the issues with newer gfortran versions.

Official WSJT-X builds for macOS are built on Mojave.

Hi Bill, I followed your advice and install Mojave on a separate partition, I actually removed Big Sur as I wanted a stable base build environment and its working perfectly now with the tool chains pulled from Mac ports.
Thank you for your help, I was fitting a lot of errors with installing the tool chain using brew, now I can of course upgrade to latest OS using an external drive initially at some stage.

Thanks for all your help guys very much appreciated.
