#34498: llvm-3.x should add a variant to enable additional targets beyond those used on Apple hardware --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: vince@… | Owner: jeremyhu@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.0 Keywords: llvm | Port: llvm-3.0, llvm-3.1 --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- The llvm-3.x ports as written today compile backends for a lot of targets (e.g.: MIPS, Alpha) which are totally useless on Apple hardware. Compiling those backends take a lot of time, and, on 2 GB machines, the final linking exceed the amount of available memory, which causes tons of swap and speed the building further down. I therefore suggest that, by default, llvm-3.x ports do only build "useful" backends (x86, x86_64, powerpc, arm) and that the other ones be left out except if the user chooses a dedicated variant (e.g. +alltargets). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/34498> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
