openmotif builds fine for me on Mavericks. Have you installed Xcode 5.0.1 and installed the command line tool by running xcode-select --install?

[fabian@…]

Thanks ryan. To be sure I just redownloaded the command line tools for 10.9 from developer.apple.com and reinstalled them. xcode-select --install fails with a network error, it seems that this is a common problem. Unfortunately reinstalling the command line tools didn't fix the problem. I have Xcode 5.1 installed. I also tried cleaning the port (and even port clean all) without success. I don't have time right now to dig deeper into this and since it's working on a new/clean box I guess the bug can be closed, even though I can't recall fancy experiments that I've done that could have somehow "poisoned" the box.

I am trying (for comparison) on a brand new mac to install open motif with macports. It works just fine there, so the machine where I'm having problem must be in a bad state.

I've rebuilt openmotif a few times, trying to get my environment as similar to yours as possible, and I've gotten to the point where our configure and build phases produce identical log output, right up to the point where mine continues while yours fails with

:info:build Severe: internal error - submit defect report
:info:build make[3]: *** [xmanimate.uid] Error 1

This is an openmotif error message, so I suppose it's the developers of openmotif to whom you have to submit that report.

Before doing so, I'd just ask you to verify that you did follow the migration instructions when upgrading to Mavericks.

[fabian@…]

Thanks for pointing me to the wiki, I didn't expect that it was required to reinstall everything as if from scratch. After that Openmotif builds. It would probably be a good idea that when Macports detects that the version of the OS changed, it points the user to that twiki. Since a port selfupdate worked and most (for me at least all except Openmotif) ports kept working I was assuming that I am on the right track, but as it turns out I was completely wrong.

I would like that, but at present I don't think MacPorts keeps track of what version of OS X it was last used with, so it can't tell when that has changed.

I'm afraid I have a very close trouble with a fresh install, i.e. :

I rename /opt/local out of the way and also /Applications/Macports/Python...

I install macport 2.2.1-10.9

port install openmotif reaches an internal error : (end of main.log)

what could I've done wrong ?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Have you installed Xcode 5.0.2 (e.g. from the Mac App Store) and its command line tools (e.g. by running xcode-select --install)?

I could not properly perform the Xcode-select --install after the Xcode-5.0.2 upgrade, but as all other ports installed correctly I assumed that was a recent change in xcode.

now that you insisted on that, I manage to have a proper Xcode-select --install after fully restarting the machine (!) ... before that, that command would simply display its help !

okay now it does build, thanks !
