 > Try with the "-s" to build it from source instead of trying to download
 the pre-compiled binary.

 It's obviously already building from source, after failing to download a
 binary.

 > it is asking me to update my os now, i am on catalina. i have tried
 putting that into terminal and it says command not found. i will try the
 OS update and try to instal xcode again as when i do install or update
 xcode it tells me its all upto date

 Michael wasn't asking you to put anything into your Terminal; he was
 showing us which lines of the log you attached contain the relevant error
 message. It said `fatal error: 'CoreFoundation/CFBase.h' file not found`,
 and that's odd, because that header should exist. What happens when you
 run this in the Terminal:

 {{{
 ls -l
 /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX10.15.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Headers/CFBase.h
 }}}

 On our Catalina buildbot worker, that file exists, and
 [https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.15_x86_64-builder/builds/29172/steps
 /install-port/logs/stdio the build of uhd 3.15.0.0 succeeded]. So I agree
 with Michael in suspecting something strange about your computer—not
 Xcode, since this port doesn't use Xcode, but rather the command line
 tools. You may need to update or reinstall them.

 Another possibility is that the port actually is using Xcode, even though
 it does not declare that (it does not say `use_xcode yes`). Your log shows
 you do not have Xcode installed. If the port is trying to find CFBase.h in
 Xcode, the fact that you don't have Xcode could explain the error message
 about it not being there. You could try installing Xcode.
