Errors installing googlecl on max osx 10.6.6 with xcode 3.2.5 installed

[tsairox@…]

I get the following errors when I try to port install googlecl:

Warning: Xcode does not appear to be installed; most ports will likely fail to build.
Error: Unable to open port: can't read "build.cmd": Failed to locate 'make' in path: '/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin' or at its MacPorts configuration time location, did you move it?
Error: Unable to execute port: upgrade python26 failed
To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>

However, Xcode is installed and is version 3.2.5 and Mac OSX version is 10.6.6. What do I need to do from here to get googlecl installed?

Thanks,

Xcode is either not installed properly (in which case reinstall Xcode, ensuring that you have not deselected the option for command line development, which is required for MacPorts), or you have installed Xcode in a nonstandard location (in which case inform MacPorts of that location using the developer_dir setting in macports.conf).

It's not the latter, /usr/bin/make is missing.

Replying to jmr@…:

It's not the latter, /usr/bin/make is missing.

Thank you for your response jmr,

After creating the make directory in /usr/bin/, I get the following response when trying to install googlecl:

Macintosh:bin tsairox$ sudo port install googlecl

Looks like progress. What should I do from here?

make is an application from Xcode, not a directory. You need to install Xcode properly as ryandesign said.

Thanks everyone for your responses,

I did reinstall Xcode. I have figured it out through experience. It seems that for every error encountered, it is most important to read the log at /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_x11_xorg-libXext/main.log and deal with each package individually when fetching them. It seems as though mac ports times out when trying to get dependencies from certain locations. Only when I fetched them individually, did this solve the problem. I now have successfully installed googlecl.

Hope this helps someone else....

Thank you,

I also have this problem. I have XCode 3.4.2 installed on OS X 10.6.6. make was not located at /usr/bin/make, but I did find it at /Developer/usr/bin/make. Adding that path to my .bash_login didn't help.

I then created a symbolic link at /opt/local/bin. That seemed to just put things into a dangerous state.

How does Ports determine whether XCode is properly installed or not?
