Macports selfupdate fails - xcode

Question

I tried to run sudo port selfupdate, but it didn't work. I reinstalled port, xcode and so on. It still doesn't work. Only port upgrade outdated works properly. I think it has something to do with tcl, but I dont how to solve this problem.
I use OSX 10.8.4, Xcode 4.6.3.
Here is the output of sudo port -d -v selfupdate

Answer 1

The version of the Tcl library (specifically the header files, but even so) and the Thread extension library (where the errors occurred, formally) that the code is trying to build are incompatible with each other. The issue is that Thread 2.6 doesn't work with later than Tcl 8.4 without changes: in particular, it requires the command-line option -DUSE_INTERP_ERRORLINE to be passed to the compiler (typically as part of the CFLAGS make variable) to cause a piece of now-deprecated API to be exposed. The other warnings are just that: warnings. (Some broken old compilers have problems with handling const right, so there's still rather too much code that gets it wrong.)
I've no idea why you're having a problem though; MacPorts works for me just fine on 10.8.4…
