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.
If you require gfortran, you should depends_build on gcc42. Nevermind anyone who has gcc43 installed; that's beta and shouldn't be relied on until gcc44 is released, at which point the port can be updated. Nevermind anyone who has gcc41 or gc40 or earlier installed; any ports that still depend on those should be updated to gcc42.
Oh, I meant to say: and then you go:
configure.compiler gcc-4.0
You mean configure.compiler macports-gcc-4.2 else it doesn't work...
and with depends_build gcc42 that's all you should need.
Yep, works like a charm now! Thanks for all the help. Michael
