I just ran into a very similar problem after updating to Xcode 4.5.
Noting that fink list showed xcode.app as version 4.5.1, while xcode was still
at 4.4.0
allowed me to realise that the command line tools had not been updated along
with
the main app (which really is extremely annoying - Apple might have a right to
think
not everyone using Xcode would want or need the command line tools; but if they
ARE already selected and installed, to omit them from the update is just
utterly stupid!).
However even though I had been through the whole process finding my way to go
to
the preferences and select the right tab etcetc. took a while, and I think one
can easily
get lost there… Even if fink certainly cannot install the tools on its own,
perhaps it
would help to include the information given by Martin to xcode.info as
something like
This package represents the C/C++/ObjC developer tools
provided by Apple. If it does not show as installed,
you can download Xcode (for OS 10.5, 10.6, and 10.7)
or the Command Line Tools For Xcode (OS 10.7 or later)
from Apple at:…
If you have already installed the Xcode toolset (xcode.app),
these Tools are also embedded within the Xcode IDE and
can be installed using the Downloads pane within the Xcode
Preferences. You need to repeat this step after every update
of the Xcode toolset.
[Ideally, `fink list xcode` should perhaps show xcode as outdated if xcode.app
is
installed in a newer version, but I don't know how feasible that is… Even after
updating the command line tools, xcode still shows up as 4.5.0.0.1…. vs.
xcode.app 4.5.1]
Cheers,
Derek
