#15420: RFE: add gcc43 variant for pdftk ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: jochen@macports.org | Owner: ryandesign@macports.org Type: enhancement | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Enhancements Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: pdftk | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@macports.org): * port: => pdftk Comment: Here is the current situation with pdftk +gcc43 when using the gcc 4.3.2_0 port: * '''10.4 Intel:''' * gcc43 does not provide gcj-mp-4.3 because it does not compile; see #16409 * '''10.4 PowerPC:''' * '''10.5 Intel:''' * '''10.5 PowerPC:''' * gcj-mp-4.3: error trying to exec 'ecj1': execvp: No such file or directory Even if gcc43 or another port provided ecj1, I've read that pdftk still won't compile with it. See this [http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35689 gcc bug report] and this [http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2008-03/msg00032.html message on the gcc java mailing list], which were brought to my attention via #16440. Apparently pdftk is programmed incorrectly, and gcc42 and earlier compiled it successfully only by coincidence. gcc43 now considers this programming method a fatal error so we cannot add gcc43 support to the pdftk port until the developers of pdftk fix their code. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15420#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
