#41782: Default to apple-gcc-4.2 on Tiger ---------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.2.99 Resolution: | Keywords: tiger Port: | ---------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@…): Replying to [comment:1 jeremyhu@…]:
bootstrapping is the biggest annoyance. You'll certainly need to add apple-gcc-4.2 to compiler.blacklist in its own Port if it isn't there already. That should allow the fallback to building it with gcc-4.0 on the first pass.
I set up new Tiger test environment today and am installing everything with this change in place. So far so good. My plan is for gcc-4.0 to not be in the fallback list by default, since gcc-4.0 won't work for whole bunches of ports on Tiger once I make the change in #40656. So I just set configure.compiler to gcc-4.0 explicitly. I also had to do the same in apple-gcc42's dependency gcc_select, because although it doesn't use a compiler, MacPorts base doesn't know that so it would still add the (circular) build dependency. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41782#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
