Error generating xcode project hello-world

📚 Official Books Server Side Swift with Kitura
1

Hi, I’m trying to follow along with the server side swift kitura book, and am in chapter 2.
I’m having problems generating the xcode project:
I’ve copied the error I get below. I suspect it’s something to do with Mojave and XCode 10.1

Has anyone had these errors before?
Thanks,
Filip

@seabaylea Can you please help with this when you get a chance? Thank you - much appreciated! :]

@filipd I suspect the issue is that you may not have the Xcode Command Line tools installed. Could you run the following from the command line/terminal?

xcode-select --install

Hi, thank you for your advise.
I’ve tried the command, but it claims the command line tools are already installed

@seabaylea Do you have any feedback about this? Thank you - much appreciated! :]

@filipd It looks like the following might be the issue:

which is caused by a issue with a previous install of another package.

Thank for the tip!
Now I could solve it with that information, I’m back in business!
