Mercurial build failure and 'sudo port upgrade outdated' failure on 10.7.5

[netja000@…]

I'm using MacBook Pro 10.7.5, Xcode is 4.4, the MacPorts base is 2.2.1.

I was trying to build mercurial but failed. Here's the output of 'sudo port install mercurial' after I 'sudo port clean mercurial'.

I'll attach the main.log, it seems the urls that the port tried to fetch don't work:

​http://lil.fr.packages.macports.org/mercurial

​http://mse.uk.packages.macports.org/sites/packages.macports.org/mercurial

​http://packages.macports.org/mercurial

Also, when I tried to 'sudo port upgrade outdated', it gave me error messages for the swig:

--->  Computing dependencies for swig
--->  Configuring swig
Error: Failed to configure swig, consult /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_swig/swig/work/swig-2.0.11/config.log

Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:

The main.log shows 'cannot run C compiled programs', although I have Xcode 4.4 installed and license approved.

I put these two error messages together since I'm not sure whether they are related.

Thanks.

Please fill in the port field and copy port maintainer(s) when submitting a ticket.

$ port info --maintainer mercurial
maintainer: deric@macports.org, sean@macports.org, openmaintainer@macports.org

$ port info --maintainer swig
maintainer: kevin@macports.org

The configure error with swig does not seem to be related to your mercurial build problem and should probably be reported as a separate ticket for clearer tracking.

A couple of notes:

• The latest Xcode for Mac OS X 10.7.5 is version 4.6.3 which you should update to.
• The error "cannot run C compiled programs" means that the Xcode command lines tools are not (correctly) installed.

I believe that this ticket should be closed as invalid.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions!

I just updated my Xcode to 4.6.3 after I submitted the ticket, the command line tools are installed by default, and I restarted everything, but I still have the same issue...

And Xcode 4.6.3 doesn't solve the build failure for mercurial either.

The command line tools are *not* installed by default. Please [wiki/ProblemHotlist#clt read the instructions] for how to install them.

Also, did you clean the port before trying again?

[netja000@…]

Yes, I clean the port before trying again. And the command line tools are installed, since I checked the preference of Xcode. I'll attach the screenshot here.

You do not have automatic updates checked. What happens when you press the button "check and install now"?

[netja000@…]

It says 'no updates available'.
