Aqua applications not compiling on Mavericks / Xcode 5.0.2 (ibtool error)

[Greisby (Greisberger Christophe)]

I wanted to install the CronniX port, and I had the later described error. I tried to install some other aqua applications. Some work (for example TeXShop3), other not. And I had always the same error type: error in the ibtool command.

I have no idea why this command fails. Executing the command in a Terminal works.

Attached, the full log for CronniX.

CronniX builds fine for me on Mavericks. Have you installed the Xcode command line tools by running xcode-select --install? If not, do that.

Yes i did. I installed lots of other ports, and they all installed fine, except these aqua ones.

Executing these failed ibtool commands with sudo on the command line also works. I have no idea why it fails in ports. Really strange.

Sorry, NO i didn't. I mixed with "xcodebuild -license"
But command line tools seems to be installed, and Xcode to be selected:

$ xcode-select -p
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
$ sudo xcode-select -p
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
$ which xcodebuild
/usr/bin/xcodebuild
$ xcodebuild -version
Xcode 5.0.2
Build version 5A3005

The command line tools are also selected int Xcode's preferences window.

I tried to execute this command anyway, but I get an error during the "Finding Software" progress:

Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

Perhaps because they are already installed.
Anyway, I'll try this: ​http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/110463/xcode-select-install-not-available-on-update-server to really make sure it's not half installed.

[Greisby (Greisberger Christophe)]

Well, reinstalled the command line tools, and it still fails with the same errors.

Did you clean the ports again first?

[Greisby (Greisberger Christophe)]

Yes, of course.

As this was not encountered again, it might have been a bug in Xcode or Command Line Tools.
