port upgrade ld64-latest fails

[persramd@…]

I was just recently able to selfupdate after the recent problem with signature verification (49233)

port upgrade outdated failed on ld64-latest.

So I did a port clean ld64-latest, followed by

port upgrade ld64-latest

fails.

What version of Xcode do you have? Are your CLTools up to date with it? What's the output of:

/usr/bin/clang++ --version

Your command line tools are out of date. Your CLTools are from Xcode 4.4. If you update them, does the issue go away?

4.6.3 is the most up-to-date version for OSX 10.7.5. Might there be a workaround?

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Your version of Xcode is 4.6.3, but the version of the CLTools is from Xcode 4.4. You have not updated your CLTools to the 4.6.3 version. Please update your CLTools to 4.6.3.

In my case updating to CLTools 4.6.3 did address the problem. The catch was that when I installed the Command line tools with Xcode 4.6.3 they were installed into /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ and not into /usr/bin (possibly because I kept an older version installed there). Anyway I renamed the old versions of clang,clang++ and softlinked the new ones in its place, after which ld64 built ok.

In case anyone else finds it useful I used the xcrun command to find clang's location:

$ xcrun --find clang
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang

Thanks for confirming.
