{{{ configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables }}}

Please install the command line tools by executing `xcode-select --install`. Also make sure that you have accepted the Xcode license using `sudo xcodebuild -license`.

This is not a bug. Trac is for bug reports, submissions and requests only. Please use the macports-users mailing list for tech support.

I empathize here a little with the user since this happened to me not too long ago. To be fair, it is incredibly confusing when this error is encountered because there is not even a hint that command line tools aren't installed or the license hasn't been accepted. There was talk about having MacPorts check this type of thing. Is that still a possibility? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42295#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

Already present in r115900, which will be part of MacPorts 2.3.
