Installing ode using Macports

I am trying to install ode via Macports, but get this error:

On Mac OS X 10.5, ode 0.11.1 requires Xcode 3.1 or later but you have Xcode 3.0.
Error: Target org.macports.extract returned: incompatible Xcode version

Is there any way to install ode without xcode 3.1?

I think you can download XCode 3.1.x for Leopard @ http://connect.apple.com (registration required).

That might be the easiest way, or are you staying on 3.0 for a specific reason?

You could always try to alter / remove minimum_xcodeversion in the portfile itself, although chances are your compilation will then probably fail (somebody had a reason for adding it).

I don't want to have to uninstall my current version of XCode (which I got from disk) then have to get an apple developer connection account and reinstall XCode from the internet. I don't understand why xcode effects ode. I wouldn't even be using it from xcode. I just want it so that I can use PyODE.

Search for your local copy of the ode portfile then and comment out the relevant bit (insert `#` at the start of the line with `minimum_xcodeversion`, save, try reinstalling the portfile). On my Snow Leopard system (macports updated via rsync) it's in `/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/devel/ode` but your paths may be different (try using finder to find an ode directory)

@ChristopheD: You can use `port dir ode` to get the directory of `ode`, so, e.g., `cd $(port dir ode)` will take you to the directory. You can also use `port edit ode` to open the Portfile in an editor.

@mipadi: interesting, did not know that!

Xcode includes gcc and all the other developer command line tools - the minimum requirement for Xcode 3.1 is probably because a minimmum version of gcc is required. You should really just bit the bullet and get the latest Xcode (3.2.2) from http://connect.apple.com - it only takes a few minutes to download and install (depending on how fast your broadband connection is).

According to the change log for the ode Portfile, the minimum Xcode version was set to remove a libGL workaround. I suppose you could check out the patch and undo that change on the local copy of your Portfile, and see if that works.
