#30013: update root to 5.30.00 --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: jonesc@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Keywords: haspatch maintainer | Port: root --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment(by jonesc@…): I checked with the root 'configure' script, and there is another compiler setting for the linker (--with-ld) which I think we need to set as well to use gcc4.4 as well. I have a test build running with {{{ variant gfortran description {Adds support for fortran compilation} { configure.args-append --with-cc=gcc-mp-4.4 configure.args-append --with-cxx=cpp-mp-4.4 configure.args-append --with-f77=gfortran-mp-4.4 configure.args-append --with-ld=g++-mp-4.4 configure.compiler macports-gcc-4.4 depends_lib-append port:gcc44 } }}} and I'll report back how that goes. I response to your question above, I agree keeping the default port setting to use the system compiler makes sense. I would also support removing the 'gfortran' variant and renaming it gc44, with gc45 ec. variants as well, as this will help testing with new compilers etc. Chris -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/30013#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
