#40186: guide needs to be updated to reflect current compiler behavior ---------------------+--------------------- Reporter: egall@… | Owner: markd@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: guide | Version: 2.2.0 Keywords: | Port: ---------------------+--------------------- The guide currently says this about `configure.compiler`: {{{ configure.compiler Select a compiler suite to fill the compiler environment variables. All variables/tools a compiler suite can provide are set. Manually set variables are not overwritten. Dependencies are not added for you, as they may be just build- or also run-dependencies. Keep in mind that not all compiler suites might be available on your platform: gcc-3.3 is available on Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4 PowerPC, gcc-4.0 is available on 10.4+, gcc-4.2 and llvm-gcc-4.2 are available on 10.5 and 10.6, and clang is available on 10.6. Only use it if a port really needs a different compiler. }}} This is wrong as of MacPorts 2.2.0. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40186> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
