#50226: julia @0.4.2_1 fails building on 10.6.8 -------------------------+-------------------- Reporter: braumann@… | Owner: sean@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Port: julia | -------------------------+-------------------- Comment (by sean@…): All good questions. `julia` is built on top of LLVM and compiles down to [https://idea.popcount.org/2013-07-24-ir-is-better-than-assembly/ IR]. Using clang for C is the only thing that makes sense to me. The variants of gccX for `julia` are just for the fortran parts. I somehow missed the `configure.compiler` specified on the command-line before. Simply put, I wrote the mpi and compiler portgroups to avoid having to use `configure.compiler`. That way you know exactly which compiler was used by looking at the variant. My suggestion would be to nuke everything built with your custom `configure.compiler` and just use the variants to select the compiler. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50226#comment:6> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
