macOS Big Sur Problems
General Issues
First of all, please read Migration.
Updating MacPorts Base
MacPorts must be re-installed in a version configured for macOS 11.0 Big Sur.
Ensure you have Xcode 12.2 or greater installed and selected (e.g. sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer), and that you have the command line tools installed (xcode-select --install). You also have to agree to the license by running sudo xcodebuild -license.
There have been reports that the -license option might not be sufficient alone, and following command might be required to agree to the license: sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch
Install macOS SDK 11.0 manually in case of problems
Some users who upgraded from earlier versions of macOS reported, that xcode-select --install didn't gave proper results (didn't install neither Xcode, nor the SDK required) and first the installation of Xcode from AppStore and then the installation of Command-line tools for Xcode 12.2 was required from Apple Developer site, as described here: https://www.macports.org/install.php .
Symptoms that your system requires manual installation: console message about missing SDK (Warning: The macOS 11.0 SDK does not appear to be installed. Ports may not build correctly. Warning: You can install it as part of the Xcode Command Line Tools package by running xcode-select --install'.`) or a message about C compiler being unable to create executables in build logs.
