I didn't notice this, as I still am test building on Mojave. Looking into it!

mf2k - Side comment but you should pay attention to the warning

Warning: cltversion: The Command Line Tools are installed, but MacPorts cannot determine the version.
Warning: cltversion: For a possible fix, please see: https://trac.macports.org/wiki/ProblemHotlist#reinstall-clt

not addressing that can cause problems...

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

b.t.w. looks like the 10.15 specific patch file is no longer required. Just removing it seems to build fine here.

In e35f21831c1ce06f864d20acd73229b3c2e845ee/macports-ports (master):

gnutls: update Catalina patch

Closes: #60595

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

@cjones051073: Understood but I believe that warning to be in error. I have the command line tools properly installed.

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

No, the warning is not in error. You need to read the http link it directs you at and follow the instructions there.

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

just to expand. You might well have command line tools installed. Thats not the problem. The issue is an Xcode update has likely wiped out the installation receipts for it, which means MacPorts cannot determine its version, and this can cause issues. You need to follow the instructions in the http link to reinstall it (or, if you prefer, just remove it entirely. Having the CLT installed is really no longer necessary).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Just for reference, I experienced the warning yesterday on a Catalina system that has only ever had the command line tools installed and has never had Xcode installed. So an Xcode update is apparently not the only way to get into whatever the situation is.

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

See the logic at

​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/master/_resources/port1.0/group/cltversion-1.0.tcl#L28

and then

​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/master/_resources/port1.0/group/cltversion-1.0.tcl#L53

in order to get the warning above, the pkgutil checks at line 28 must fail, and then you must have one or other of

• /usr/lib/libxcselect.dylib and /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/lib/libxcrun.dylib

or

• /usr/bin/make

installed.

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

b.t.w. I also suspect an OS upgrade might be another way the CLT receipts go missing...
