checking compiler /usr/bin/clang  -I/opt/local/include... no

do you have the command-line tools installed (is there anything in /usr/bin/clang ?)

[shapez0r]

yes, it's 10.12 16A323 with xcode 9 9A235 with cltools installed, but indeed clang gives the following:

root# ls -la /usr/bin/clang
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  18240 Sep 14  2016 /usr/bin/clang
root# clang
clang: error: unable to find utility "clang", not a developer tool or in PATH

ok, my bad, xcode is saying 10.12.6 is minimum required. I will update the ticket after trying with 10.12.6

[kencu (Ken)]

My first observation is that gmp builds on every system on the buildbots <​http://packages.macports.org/gmp/>. So that suggests it's something local on your end.

Second -- so, why aren't you getting the binary for gmp from the buildbot? Why is your system trying to build it? Have you set it up that way on purpose?

Third, now why are you running as root? That could well mess up your path, and other things. I never run as root, and there's precious little I can't do with sudo when I need it.

I don't think this has to do with 10.12.6, or gmp or wget specifically, but it's something to do with your setup that we have yet to pinpoint.

Have you tried running port diagnose ?

Replying to kencu:

Because the gmp port deliberately disables binary fetching. See #41614.

Third, now why are you running as root? That could well mess up your path, and other things. I never run as root, and there's precious little I can't do with sudo when I need it.

I agree with that.

I don't think this has to do with 10.12.6,

Why not? If Xcode requires that version of macOS, and the user doesn't have it, that seems a highly likely cause for the failure.

Just because his original post said he was on 10.12.6 already ... wget doesn't build on 10.12(.6) Sierra and I don't think the App Store would install Xcode 9 on an incompatible system. But I could be wrong there.

And then he said it's 10.12 16A323. 10.12.6 would be 16G29.

and I don't think the App Store would install Xcode 9 on an incompatible system. But I could be wrong there.

I also think that, but it could have been installed by downloading from the Apple developer site or by copying the app from another computer.

If updating to 10.12.6 doesn't fix it, verify that you've selected your Xcode using xcode-select.

[MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)]

Others seem to have encountered this problem (see ​here and ​here), but the consensus was that it was a result of a misconfigured system.
I will close this ticket since this does not seem to be a gmp specific problem.
I would suggest trying some of the advice in the links.
You might also try the MacPorts MailingLists.

[shapez0r]

indeed it was lack of 10.12.6 for xcode 9, 10.12.0 was not enough. xcode9 still was able to be installed because of a script-unxip type of installation, not GUI, but couldn't be launched though. thank you for your quick reaction anyway!
