How to install DPKG

**AngryPIG** · 06-06-2012, 10:08 AM

I was wondering if I could get some help.
I am very new to OS X and I would like to play around with IOSopenDev.
I see that you must have DPKG installed and I know you must install MacPorts.
But when I type in " sudo ports -f install DPKG" I just get a error staying it could not be install.

Have you already installed MacPorts?
Can you be a little more explicit on the error you saw?

Yes I do. It says that Xcode is not installed
Even though it is. It's basically says failed to install

by explicit, I mean tell us exactly what error messages you see.
'Basically' isn't enough. Detail counts.

re: Xcode, what version is installed?
Which SDKs did you install?
Where did it install to?

install the latest Xcode from mac store thats comes with SDK iOS 5.1 i think. install to default location.

Thanks.
That's MUCH more helpful!
Can you confirm that this directory exists?
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

or perhaps?
/Developer/

Anyway, if you installed XCode with only the iOS SDK, you won't be able to run MacPorts
or install new MacPorts software. You'll need to get or install the SDK for MacOS 10.6 or 10.7 as well.
This may be why it's failing now.

I had the same problem.

Im having Xcode 4.3.1 on Lion 10.7.3

I fixed it by entering this in Terminal:

sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
