Aquaterm fails to build due to StripNIB failures (Ticket #42428)

[Andrew Dudman]

Hello everyone,

mojca invited me to post here for feedback.  The scope of the problem is beyond the aquaterm port.  The failure may occur in other ports built by Xcode.  I am on an OS X 10.10.1 system with Xcode 6.1.  ibtool does not respect the environments TMPDIR setting, instead in my case, it wants to write to files under "/opt/.TemporaryItems/".  I mount a separate disk for Macports at mountpoint "/opt/“.  The system error log has five messages like this:

11/27/14 9:49:16.838 PM sandboxd[19157]: ([19155]) ibtoold(19155) deny file-write-create /opt/.TemporaryItems/folders.509/TemporaryItems/(A Document Being Saved By ibtool)

The sandbox needs to be enlarged to allow file writes to ".TemporaryItems/" directory.  At the subject ticket, I have already submitted a preliminary patch of "base/src/port1.0/portsandbox.tcl”.   My question is, “What directory path does ibtool and/or ibtoold use for temporary items on your system?”
Furthermore, I have found I need something like:

 allow file-write* (regex #\”^/opt/.TemporaryItems/\”)

and not just a regex for a subdirectory of that.

Cheers for Macports — I use it daily,
Andrew
