Re: Xcode and gcc conflict: resolved soon?

Hi,

Please always provide the exact error messages when reporting problems, 
otherwise it is difficult to know exactly what you are referring. There 
are a number of different issues at the moment w.r.t. Xcode 11.


That said, its probably not possible at this point to give you a 
timescale when everything will be fixed with Xcode 11, partly because a 
number of the issues are beyond macPorts control, and require fixes from 
upstream (or perhaps even from Apple for Xcode itself).


So yes, at this point if you do not wish to have to deal with or help 
fix these issues, you should downgrade Xcode back to 10.x.

Hi,
I made the mistake of upgrading Xcode to the latest version (11.0), 
where Apple seems to have introduced stuff that breaks a lot of things. 
Among these, it seems, is gcc9. More specifically, when I tried to 
upgrade outdated ports, a number of them could not be compiled, such as 
poppler and openblas, and the discussions in the newsgroups indicate 
that it has to do with the new Xcode.
Is there reason to expect that this conflict, specifically the problems 
with gcc9 and with openblas, are resolved in the new future, or should I 
try to go back to the old Xcode?
