The recently imposed "must be logged in" restriction is a response to increased bot traffic on the site. This affects search, commits, and vuxml pages.
Search engines are not blocked. Try using "site:www.freshports.org" and your search terms.
After the ports freeze to fix some stuff, the freeze is over. I have some work to do before FreshPorts can start processing commits again before it can start processing again. I've created an issue for that.

Description:
CLX is a cross-platform ahead-of-time compiler for Lua that generates standalone native executables through modern C++ toolchains, rather than interpreting bytecode at runtime. It targets Lua 5.5 compatibility and aims for predictable runtime performance and fast startup times, integrating with existing C++ build systems. Alongside the compiler it installs a static runtime library and headers for embedding compiled Lua into C++ projects.

lang/clx: Update to 0.3.0

Drop the post-install workaround: upstream now installs clx_simd.h
itself.  Add lib/libclx_lua.a, a new static library built from the
vendored Lua 5.5 sources.
