#36626: pdftk @1.44 +gcc42 won't build on Snow Leopard ----------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: Peter_Dyballa@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Keywords: pdftk, Snow Leopard, gcc42 | Port: pdftk ----------------------------------------+-------------------------------- 'port variants pdftk' lists: {{{ pdftk has the variants: gcc42: Build using gcc42 * conflicts with gcc45 gcc47 [+]gcc45: Build using gcc45 * conflicts with gcc42 gcc47 gcc47: Build using gcc47 * conflicts with gcc42 gcc45 }}} Since I don't want to have gcc45 or gcc47 I decided to 'port -v install pdftk +gcc42'. This first installs 'fastjar @0.94_0' and then tries to install 'gcc42-4.2.4_7'. The latter fails: {{{ Error: gcc42 does not build on Snow Leopard or later. Error: org.macports.fetch for port gcc42 returned: unsupported platform }}} This is already known and reported. Why is 'port variants pdftk' still listing gcc42 as a variant on Snow Leopard? And why is port not using any of these installed compilers? {{{ port select --list gcc Available versions for gcc: gcc40 gcc42 llvm-gcc42 none (active) }}} {{{ port select --list llvm Available versions for llvm: mp-llvm-3.1 none (active) }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36626> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
