Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

This broke my system. After running port selfupdate and port upgrade outdated, the system was not successfully updated. Instead an error was presented regarding one of the packages and a message linking to this site was shown: LibcxxOnOlderSystems . I accessed the site after which I followed the instructions to install libcxx on the system. This did not work. After Step #3, for Uninstall of all the remaining inactive ports using the command: sudo port -v -f uninstall inactive and during Step #4 for Build a newer clang compiler using libc++ and uninstall the old one using libstdc++ and using the command sudo port -v install clang-3.7 results in:

I'm not really interested in updating to the latest version of OS/X or Xtools, I was wondering does this basically mean there is no longer support for 10.8.x users?

Mountain Lion is still a supported platform (as a matter of fact, MacPorts still has builders for systems back to Snow Leopard, and runs on platforms even older than that).

The error message should have mentioned a log file in the /opt/local/var/macports/logs/ directory. Please attach the file to this report in order to allow us to diagnose the problem.

libc++ is already part of OS X 10.8. The instructions do not say to install it. Read the instructions again...

You were reading the portion of the instructions that relate to OS X 10.5 and 10.6. The portion of the instructions that relate to OS X 10.7 and 10.8 is much shorter and simpler.
