-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I said the same thing in IRC a bit ago. :-)
We already use the the Xcode detection from VirtPackage.pm for error diagnostic purposes (as in the output below), so the technique shouldn't present a problem. I'd recommend moving the Xcode, arch, make, cc, ... tests to the beginning of the bootstrap script, maybe even before asking for the directory to bootstrap into. If a user doesn't have Xcode (or the right Xcode), it seems excessive to create /sw before telling them that and exiting, and then tell them the next time around they can't use the /sw we created. :-) On 11/23/11 11:02 AM, David R.
