I launch Xcode 4.3 (through Finder and `open /Applications/Xcode.app`) and it doesn't prompt me with anything. I even created a "Hello World!" console application and successfully built it with Xcode 4.3. Does anyone have any ideas with regards to this? I have also attached the main.log.

For situations such as this, could/should a $HOME be created for macports user within /opt/local, e.g. /opt/local/home? I am not familiar with how MacPorts handles its builds behind the scenes, but all of the files within /opt/local are owned by root user and admin or wheel groups. So, does macports user do a chown on the data, or is root (through sudo typically) the one doing the building? If root is doing the building, should root be the one with the license agreement? 

Also, from what I can tell, and I could easily be wrong, this license agreement verification is stored within $HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist. 

Kind regards,
