-------------------------+--------------------------------
On my system, Mountain Lion, Xcode takes up ~3.5 gigabytes. However, the
xcode command line tools is much smaller. So, my question is, how badly
does MacPorts actually need all of Xcode.app? Can it be made to not need
it? I have noticed that trying to get by with just installing the command
line tools causes MacPorts to constantly complain about not having
Xcode.app
My feeling is that if it is really not needed, then it would be nice to
spare users of having to install 3+ GB of application that most of them
will probably never use or care about, just to even be able to use
MacPorts.
