#30547: MacPorts requires Xcode 4.1 under Lion ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: peter@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.0.1 Keywords: | Port: ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Comment(by peter@…): Replying to [comment:2 jmr@…]:
I was under the impression that Xcode 3.2.x refuses to install on Lion. I know from experience that the Lion installer removes the "UNIX Development" bits, which MacPorts needs. Does it not work to use Xcode 3.2 in /Developer-old while having Xcode 4.1 in /Developer and its UNIX Development and System Tools in /usr?
No, this is incorrect. If you have Xcode 3.2.x installed, and upgrade to Lion, it is still there and works as normal. Also, you can install 3.2.x under Lion - certainly you can install 3.2.5 under Lion because I did this yesterday without issue, except that then MacPorts refused to work saying it requires 4.1 for some reason. If there is a *really* good reason MacPorts requires 4.1, fair enough, it just means I can't use MacPorts. But I don't see why it would require 4.1. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/30547#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
