Hi Bob,

The above log doesn't include the reasons why it failed (the error(s)
are further up), which will be the first port of call figuring out
what's happening.

Also note that CURRENT recently introduced Clang 6.0.0, which caused
many ports to fail, many of which haven't been fixed yet. This could be
one of them.

I'd start by opening a Bugzilla issue "deskutils/ical: Fails to build on
CURRENT", and include the full build log as an attachment. Please reply
here with the Bugzilla ID/url when you do so others can follow and/or
assist there.

Given the port doesn't currently have a maintainer, I'd then (either
myself, or with help from others here, on the mailing lists or on IRC)
try to isolate the issue and provide a patch.
