Thanks for clearing that up (hard coding, that is) and I agree with you that CLT only is a better use of time. I have been operating that way for the last couple of years and have yet to run into a port that I need which actually required Xcode, but maybe I’ve just been lucky. I see that https://trac.macports.org/ticket/29172 has been there for five years now, so I won’t hold my breath until it happens.
