configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables with Mavericks

Question

I've checked stackoverflow but haven't found an answer yet.

I'm trying to install wget on Mavericks as shown here.

Here's what I'm getting:

bolo:wget-1.14 Michelin$ subl config.log 
bolo:wget-1.14 Michelin$ ./configure --with-ssl=openssl

Answer 1

Below solved this for me in Mavericks. I had to use sudo for this to work.

From https://trac.macports.org/wiki/ProblemHotlist

Xcode License Agreement

When attempting to build a port which compiles an OS X app (e.g., gimp-app), the compilation may fail with an xcodebuild error. One of the possible causes of this is that an initial run of xcodebuild from the terminal may be needed to accept the EULA before any compilation can proceed. Run:

xcodebuild -license

from a terminal window and follow the prompts. After accepting the EULA, rebuild the port again.

With some ports and some versions of Xcode (e.g. libunwind-headers with Xcode 4.4+) you may need to accept the license as root, i.e.:

sudo xcodebuild -license

This will need to be repeated after any Xcode upgrade.

Answer 2

i'd suggest using homebrew (http://brew.sh/) to install wget:

brew install wget

an additional note for others out there: upgrading your command line tools for Mavericks is easy like this: http://www.computersnyou.com/2025/
