root6 @6.12.04_1 build fail in High Sierra (XCode 8.3)

[diemort (Gustavo)]

Dear developers,

I've tried to install root6 in MacPorts 2.4.2 but it fails with the following error message:

Error: Failed to build root6: command execution failed
Error: See /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_science_root6/root6/main.log for details.
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.
Error: Processing of port root6 failed

Log file attached. Also, I noticed several warnings like this:

Warning: reinplace s|/usr/bin/env python|/usr/bin/python|g didn't change anything in /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_science_root6/root6/work/root-6-12-04/main/python/****

I already ran a port clean root6, but it still fails.

Cheers,

--Gustavo

In the future, please Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers root6), if any.

Ignore the reinplace warnings, they are 'normal' ( I have to perform a 'catch' replacement on all python scripts to make sure they specific the python version correctly. Not all need it but giving an explicit list would be unmaintainable, given the number and how they change between releases, so I run a catch all search. The warning is for those that do not need it. )

Anyway, your issue is your Xcode version is too old for macOS 10.13. Please update (to 9.2 as of this time) and try again.

Then use reinplace's -q flag to silence the warning.

Agreed; the log shows clang version 802.0.38, which is from Xcode 8.3; macOS High Sierra requires Xcode 9.

Thanks, it worked. I didn't noticed I was so far behind the current XCode version.

Thanks ! Is that a new option ? When I first started getting this warnings I asked how to suppress them, and was told at the time it was not possible.
