A few of these users say they have applied all available software updates. Are new version of Xcode still being provided through Apple's Software Update, or do I need to direct them to the developer site to download the latest?
As others have said, AFAIK newer version of Xcode are only available as full manual downloads. I think it is a misperception that Xcode is updated via software update.
I recently updated the ghc portfile to the latest release. A number of people have reported trouble building it, all apparently related to old versions of Xcode.
That's why I explcitly direct users to get the latest from Apple's developer site and warn them of port install failures if they do not. http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/InstallingMacPorts But I think I'll add even more explicit verbage today about software update not updating Xcode -unless and until someone comes up with evidence otherwise. I want that page to be accurate so we can just point people to it. Mark
