port selfupdate fails on OS X Lion with current Xcode version

[Leonard.Stellbrink@…]

hi,
I can't do a selfupdate.
I have Mac OS X 10.7.4 and Xcode 4.3.2 installed.
I think the error has something to do with "C Compiler cannot create executables"
Thanks for your help

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

Your setup doesn't seem correct Xcode 4.3.2, specifically this line:

checking Xcode location... /Developer

What does xcode-select -print-path print on your system? It should be /Applications/Xcode.app or /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer. Also, please attach /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/base/config.log.

[Leonard.Stellbrink@…]

I changed the Xcode-select to the right path, still the same error.

Here is my config.log:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by MacPorts configure 2.1.1, which was

Have you installed the Xcode command line tools? You need to. It's an option within the Xcode program. Consult the MacPorts documentation for more guidance on this.

[Leonard.Stellbrink@…]

Thanks, I installed the command line tools and everything is working now.
