Mavericks Problems

General Issues

First of all, please read Migration.

Updating MacPorts Base

The version of MacPorts built on 10.8 or lower will fail to install packages on Mavericks because of a missing /usr/bin/gnutar. The solution to that problem is to re-install MacPorts. Since no binary installer is available yet, ​from source is currently the only way to do this.

On Mavericks, ensure you have at least the command line tools installed by running xcode-select --install from a Terminal. Make sure to also run this even if you have Xcode installed, because you will otherwise see an error message about MacPorts not being able to find Tcl.

Pre-Built Binary Packages

We will start to build and distribute binary packages for ports as soon as we have a Mavericks buildbot. ​admins are working on getting the buildbot set up.
