Hey, I had the same problem. It turns out I was using an older
version of Xtools (specifically, version 2.3). After upgrading to
Xtools 2.4.1, things worked fine. (The specific trouble, which
you can see if you get rid of the "-j2" option in the makefile, is
that they've changed some of the defines in the header files that
the boehm-gc needs.)
Problems caused by old Xcode versions are reported by users with
some regularity. I suppose we could add something to the FAQ, but
users don't always read the FAQ, and the first step of the first
section of the installation guide already reads: "Download and
install the latest version of Xcode Tools—do not install an older
version from the OS X 10.4 install disk or some ports may fail to
install."
We should not allow users to run into this problem. Can we please
modify MacPorts base to issue a fatal error and refuse to do
anything unless the latest Xcode (2.4.1 on 10.4.x, 1.5.x on 10.3.x)
is installed? I think this would be a good idea. When new versions
of Xcode are released, we can update base as needed.
+1.
