#36626: pdftk @1.44 +gcc42 won't build on Snow Leopard ------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: Peter_Dyballa@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: snowleopard lion mountainlion Port: pdftk | ------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * status: new => closed * cc: openmaintainer@…, nox@… (removed) * resolution: => wontfix * keywords: pdftk, Snow Leopard, gcc42 => snowleopard lion mountainlion Comment: Since gcc42 does not work on Snow Leopard anymore, you will need to use either gcc47 or gcc45. pdftk is written in java and requires a java compiler, which is only available in the gcc ports (not in Xcode, not in the clang or llvm-gcc ports). It's not trivial to add or remove variants from a port based on OS version or other criteria, especially when those variants reference (conflict with) one another. The current behavior is pretty good already in that it does correctly inform you what the problem is. pdftk will stop offering a gcc42 option; see #34275. gcc42 will be removed from MacPorts entirely; see #33919. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36626#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
