 > Renee, any thoughts/updates, relative to fixing...?

 as discussed at many places, the issue is not specific to this port or any
 other individual port depending on Qt5, but related to how the Qt5 handles
 the detection of the SDK. This is something that should be fixed
 correctly, most likely in the {{{qt5}}} PortGroup. However, in theory
 there shouldn't be a reason to require a full XCode installation anywhere
 and for sure not on older systems where everything works fine.

 Having said that I changed jobs and am not using a Mac as my primary
 system anymore. I will continue to update "my" ports and try to contribute
 where I can, but this specific problem is not something I will work on. So
 if the MacPort project decides that, for the lack of a better solution,
 adding {{{use_xcode yes}}} in the {{{qt5}}} PG (perhaps conditionally for
 only the newer systems where these failures are observed) is the
 appropriate thing to do, the feel free to do so.
