Problem building Sage after upgrading OS X 10.6.8 -> 10.9.1

[David Roe]

I recently upgraded OS X and now run into trouble building Sage.  XCode displays the version number as Version 5.0.2 (5A3005).

When I try "make build" in my existing Sage (built before the upgrade), I get the following error:

checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

(log available at http://pastebin.com/WQ5ssXVi)

I checked my C compiler: gcc -v returns

Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0
Thread model: posix

and it successfully builds a hello_world.c.  So I decided to try building from scratch, using a fresh sage-6.1 tarball.  It errored with

sed: /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h: No such file or directory

(log available at http://pastebin.com/G9Ajqs4n)

After running "sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/usr/include /usr/include/" the build proceeded, with lots of warnings of the form

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/../lib/clang/5.0/include/stddef.h:84:24: note: expanded from macro 'offsetof'

and some suspicious lines that looked like

/usr/bin/ranlib: file: libgcc_eh.a(unwind-sjlj.o) has no symbols

/usr/bin/ranlib: file: ../.././gcc/libgcc.a(_trampoline.o) has no symbols

Eventually it failed as before, with

Something appears to be screwed up with my development environment, but I'm not sure what.  Any ideas?

Maybe see http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/15783? That is, after upgrading Xcode, you need to type

   xcode-select --install

from a Terminal. Or have you done that already?

That seems to have fixed the problem, or at least allowed me to get through building gcc.  Thanks!

I've got this problem right now, with Sage 6.8, on 10.9.  And I've run xcode-select --install from a terminal; it just outputs the line "xcode-select: note: install requested for command line developer tools" (which are already installed).

Help!

I take it back.  Apparently installing them from the Xcode app gives you the compilers, etc, but not the header files.  Using xcode-select --install seems to yield both.
