Mavericks Problems

General Issues

First of all, please read Migration.

Updating MacPorts Base

Versions 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. Run sudo port -f selfupdate or ​build from source. Do not create a symlink named /usr/bin/gnutar pointing to a different version of tar or a version of gnutar you installed using MacPorts or yourself.

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. ​Our admins are working on getting the buildbot set up.
