Comment:

 The problem with building ECL seemingly stems from having Software Update
 install the command-line tools (CLT) for both XCode 11.5 and XCode 12
 beta.  I never tried to install the Xcode 12 beta, so don't know why this
 occurs exactly, but it happened to both of my machines, and seemingly has
 happened to others.  The only way to diagnose this condition seems to be
 noting that Software Update installs both CLT packages, and in the case of
 building ECL, note from the config.log file that the version of
 /usr/bin/clang invoked is clang-12.0.0.

 After finding
 <https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2339/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40014588-CH1-HOW_CAN_I_UNINSTALL_THE_COMMAND_LINE_TOOLS_>,
 I resolved this mixed install by  the following procedure:

 I removed the /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools directory, manually
 downloaded the Xcode 11.5 DMG, installed the Xcode 11.5 pkg, and now the
 original ECL Portfile works.

 Via IRC #macports, I received a report that ECL won't build with Xcode 12
 beta 5 that was properly installed, so users of ECL are advised to stick
 to Xcode 11 for the time being.

 Closing as wontfix.




 I am closing this issue as wontfix.

 I suggest that @c-kloukinas attempt to re-install the XCode 11.5 developer
 tools, then try to build ECL again.  If that doesn't work, we can re-open
 this ticket.
