 An installation of MacPorts and the ports installed by it are only designed to work on a single OS release and a single CPU architecture. If you upgrade to a new OS version (e.g. from Tiger to Leopard) or migrate to a new machine with a different type of CPU (e.g. PowerPC to Intel), you may get lucky and have your ports keep working, but in general, things will break.
 
 After performing either of these types of system upgrades, you will first need to install the base MacPorts system again, either from the appropriate disk image or from source. (You will probably not be able to use `sudo port selfupdate` because the old `port` command you have will probably not be compatible with your new system.) You must then reinstall all your ports. There are at least two ways you could do this.
+
+First of all, install the latest Xcode for your new Mac OS X version. Note that this will not automatically be installed on upgrades, you will have to do it manually. You will find the Xcode installer on the DVD.
