Update from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 and OS/X 10.8.5

[tedrepulsive@…]

This broke my system. After running port selfupdate and port upgrade outdated, the system was not successfully updated. Instead an error was presented regarding one of the packages and a message linking to this site was shown: LibcxxOnOlderSystems . I accessed the site after which I followed the instructions to install libcxx on the system. This did not work. After Step #3, for Uninstall of all the remaining inactive ports using the command: sudo port -v -f uninstall inactive and during Step #4 for Build a newer clang compiler using libc++ and uninstall the old one using libstdc++ and using the command sudo port -v install clang-3.7 results in:

I'm not really interested in updating to the latest version of OS/X or Xtools, I was wondering does this basically mean there is no longer support for 10.8.x users?

Mountain Lion is still a supported platform (as a matter of fact, MacPorts still has builders for systems back to Snow Leopard, and runs on platforms even older than that).

The error message should have mentioned a log file in the /opt/local/var/macports/logs/ directory. Please attach the file to this report in order to allow us to diagnose the problem.

libc++ is already part of OS X 10.8. The instructions do not say to install it. Read the instructions again...

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

You were reading the portion of the instructions that relate to OS X 10.5 and 10.6. The portion of the instructions that relate to OS X 10.7 and 10.8 is much shorter and simpler.
