So far so good, but I have quite a few more Mac Ports in my extensive list to build. I noticed the warning when initially configuring MacPorts 2.0.4 which stated: Warning: xcodebuild exists but failed to execute > Warning: Xcode appears to be installed but xcodebuild is unusable; some > ports will likely fail to build. > Warning: You may need to run `sudo xcode-select -switch > /Applications/Xcode.app` > I was required to run `sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app` when trying to install the zlib port, but once I ran this, it worked fine. So, I don't really know if this qualifies as a bug. Also, I'm not sure if this would qualify as a bug -- when building the gmp port, I got this Warning in the output: Warning: No processor dependent assembly code being used. gmp might be > slower. > But then the process continued successfully: ---> Building gmp > ---> Staging gmp into destroot > ---> Installing gmp @5.0.4_0 > ---> Activating gmp @5.0.4_0 > ---> Cleaning gmp > I will definitely file bug reports for situations where a port fails to build. Should I also file bug reports for warning messages like the one for gmp? Thank you, -Tabitha
