#39428: mpich should have variant +gcc47 by default --------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: dstrubbe@… | Owner: eborisch@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: | Keywords: haspatch Port: mpich | --------------------------+------------------------ Comment (by eborisch@…): I believe, but I could be wrong, that active variants can be used to say if port X is installed it, must have variant C or D active. (Else error out with an informative message to user.) If X is not installed, then error out with informative message to user that X needs to be installed with C or D active. It seems this would suffice for the problem you're describing. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39428#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
