Macports: llvm-3.0 is not supported on Mavericks or later

root's picture

This error is clear as crystal and confirmed by macports website: llvm-3.0 is not supported on Mavericks.
Luckily there is a solution. Read on ;)

The error:

--->  Fetching distfiles for llvm-3.0
[color=red]Error: llvm-3.0 is not supported on Mavericks or later.

Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:

The solution:

1. Install llvm-3.3 which is compatible with Mavericks:

2. Install ld64 with variant llvm33 (it could be still linked to llvm30):

3. Install cctools also with variant llvm33:

--->  Computing dependencies for cctools.
--->  Fetching archive for cctools
--->  cctools-839_2+llvm33.darwin_13.x86_64.tbz2 doesn't seem to exist in /opt/local/var/macports/incoming/verified

Now port -v upgrade outdated should work. Mine is in progress. I will let you know if everything goes well... or not.

UPDATE:

So after hours of compiling, I got another error regarding llvm-3.0:

Do not worry, solution after the error log.

Just uninstall llvm-3.0:
florians-MacBook-Pro:~ root# port -v uninstall llvm-3.0
--->  Deactivating llvm-3.0 @3.0_12
--->  Cleaning llvm-3.0
--->  Removing work directory for llvm-3.0
--->  Uninstalling llvm-3.0 @3.0_12
--->  Cleaning llvm-3.0
--->  Removing work directory for llvm-3.0
Now you can run again port -v upgrade outdated.
And finally... SUCCESS!
--->  Updating database of binaries: 100.0%
--->  Scanning binaries for linking errors: 100.0%
--->  No broken files found.

PS: On MacPorts website (https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration) the recommendation is to reinstall MacPorts after upgrading to a new major OS version or CPU architecture. You can do that too if everything else fails (including the above example).
