#13651: prc-tools fails to build on Leopard ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: clubjuggler@gmail.com | Owner: css@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: prc-tools, gcc, leopard ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Comment (by clubjuggler@gmail.com): Ok, researching this more, it looks like gcc 2.95 is not supported under i386-apple-darwin*. The 2.95 compiler, though, is only used for the m68k- palmos compiler so conceivably we could not configure that and things should work. I don't know how many m68k palms are still out there, though. The other options are to 1. Port gcc 2.95 to the i386-apple-darwin* platform. Might be able to use stuff from gcc 3. Might not. Don't know. 2. Port the m68k patches from gcc 2.95 to gcc 3.0. The prc-tools building page ( http://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/install/BUILDING.html ) says "In the future, the m68k patches will be ported to GCC 3.x, and the gcc295 directory will disappear." but it doesn't look like they ever were. I have no idea how hard it would be to do this. For now, I'll look into building just the arm compiler and see how that works, but I don't think that's a very good solution since there's probably tons of older palms out there and it would be a shame to exclude them. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13651#comment:5> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
