macOS Monterey Problems
General Issues
First of all, please read Migration.
Updating MacPorts Base
MacPorts must be re-installed in a version configured for macOS 12 Monterey.
Ensure you have Xcode 13.1 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
Rosetta 2 and build_arch
MacPorts defaults to building for the architecture that it is running as. If you have a universal MacPorts installation on an Apple Silicon Mac, and you run it from a terminal emulator that is not a native arm64 binary, MacPorts will end up being run as x86_64, and will build ports accordingly, which can be unexpected. This can be corrected by explicitly setting build_arch arm64
in macports.conf, or by using a native terminal emulator.
