gcc/g++ failures after xcode11 update

[Christopher Jones]

Hi,

Note the error is not specific to gcc. Macports clang has the same problem.

 > clang++-mp-8.0 -O3 ./main.cpp 
In file included from ./main.cpp:1:

#include_next <wchar.h>
              ^~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

The issue is both macports clang and gcc rely (by default) on /usr/include being present, and this is no longer present by default with Xcode 11, and even if you previously had it was likely wiped out with the last update.

Note, with 10.14 at least (*) you can add back /usr/include by following the instructions in 

https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/337940/why-is-usr-include-missing-i-have-xcode-and-command-line-tools-installed-moja <https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/337940/why-is-usr-include-missing-i-have-xcode-and-command-line-tools-installed-moja>

or, as you say below, explicitly giving the include path in some way, such as the suggestion below.

cheers Chris

(*) The package to add back /usr/include currently does not exist in 10.15 beta, so unless it reappears come final release this is going to be more of a problem there….
