MacPorts should require the latest Xcode

Here's a message from the -users list just now: On Jul 28, 2007, at 18:39, Chris Waterson wrote: > Hey, I had the same problem.

Problems caused by old Xcode versions are reported by users with some regularity. I suppose we could add something to the FAQ, but users don't always read the FAQ, and the first step of the first section of the installation guide already reads: "Download and install the latest version of Xcode Tools—do not install an older version from the OS X 10.4 install disk or some ports may fail to install." We should not allow users to run into this problem. Can we please modify MacPorts base to issue a fatal error and refuse to do anything unless the latest Xcode (2.4.1 on 10.4.x, 1.5.x on 10.3.x) is installed? I think this would be a good idea. When new versions of Xcode are released, we can update base as needed.

compiler selection
by Michael Wild 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

Hi all I wonder what the policy/methodology is concerning compiler selection. I perused the MacPorts guide but couldn't find anything. Am I right in the assumption that MacPorts automatically comes with its own gcc compiler suite and requires it to be present (I think I read something like that somewhere in the FAQ)? If so, on which one can I rely to be there? gcc32, gcc40/1/2 or apple-gcc40? just because the executable have all different names... My problem actually is that a port which I'm preparing requires gfortran which doesn't come with Apple's system gcc but is in port:gcc42. I could simply do "configure.fc ${prefix}/bin/gfortran-mp-4.2, but what if someone has another gcc installed? I could depends_build on gcc42 but if a gcc suite is required by MacPorts anyways I wouldn't like to impose something which might install another compiler suite unnecessarily. So, currently I do a hacky set gfortran [lindex [lsort -decreasing [glob \ -type f "${prefix}/bin/gfortran*"]] 0] configure.fc ${gfortran} and hope to get the compiler with the highest version number. For my installation this works, but I'm quite unhappy with it. Does anyone know a better solution to that problem? Thanks for the help Michael
