TeXShop @5.03 fails to build on macOS 13 (Ventura)

[mcmara (Jack McMara)]

I'm unable to build TeXShop @5.03 on Ventura. Some basic system info:

Log attached. it seems to have some xcode-related workspace creation error and aborting after this:

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

Hmm. I did install it on my Ventura machine.

The only difference I see is in the Xcode version (I've got 14B5033e). I generally rename and Xcode Beta to Xcode to prevent an older version (in this case Xcode 14.0) from providing the wrong toolset.

[mcmara (Jack McMara)]

I'm using the latest (as of today) packages from Apple Developer website, which are:

• Xcode 14.1 Release Candidate 2, October 24, 2022
• Command Line Tools for Xcode 14.1 Release Candidate 2, October 24, 2022

Also:

$ ls  /Applications/ | grep code
Xcode.app

Tried to remove Xcode and CommandLineTools and reinstall everything, re-fetching the macport package, but the build error is still there:

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

I'll check on a work machine tomorrow. It has the same toolchain as your machine.

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

On my work Mac mini (Intel) running

Xcode 14.1
Build version 14B47

and Darwin 22.1.0, I get a clean build.

Are you sure that you installed the additional tools after installing Xcode? I.e. the macOS SDK.

[mcmara (Jack McMara)]

Thanks for verifying that. After migrating to Ventura, I did a fresh install of the following ports:

sudo port install bash bash-completion cmake coreutils getopt git +bash_completion gnupg2 gsed  boost doxygen eigen3 ffmpeg +gpl +postproc +lame +theora +libogg +vorbis +xvid +x264 +a52 +faac +faad +dts +nonfree freeglut ftgl gl2ps gnuplot xmlstarlet xorg-server xrandr texlive texlive-bibtex-extra texlive-fonts-extra texlive-latex-extra texlive-publishers TeXShop asymptote tk 

I do get a clean build of all of them with my setup except TeXShop and Asymptote (asymptote ticket is #66100). I'll dig in more to understand what is happening.

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

The problem with asy isn't related to that of TeXShop.

TeXShop is the only package you listed that actually uses the macOS SDK. I'm suspecting that you didn't open up the Xcode App after you installed it, and therefore haven't installed the macOS 13 SDK.

[mcmara (Jack McMara)]

Good hint. However, macOS 13 SDK is installed. I have macOS SDK 13.0 (22A372). In fact, if I build TexShop manually, it succeeds:

** BUILD SUCCEEDED **

But if I build it using macports (sudo port install texshop) I get weird errors in the log file:

Basically xcode cannot write anything insode /opt/local/var/macports/home/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/. Note that to get the manual build to succeed I used sudo -u macports. Tried also to delete the whole /opt/local/var/macports/home/Library/ and have it re-created by xcode with no luck.

Is you macmini on Ventura as well?

Replying to mcmara:

Basically xcode cannot write anything insode /opt/local/var/macports/home/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/.

That's #57137. Not sure why nobody has fixed that yet in a general way.

[mcmara (Jack McMara)]

It was indeed xcode related. The version of Xcode 14.1 published yesterday November 1, 2022, with the new command line tools released in the same day, solved the problem for me. TeXShop now builds cleanly. I believe this ticked can be closed.
