#37921: RFE: binutils's "notes" entry should specify which ports exactly it causes to fail to build -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: egall@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Keywords: | Port: binutils -------------------------+-------------------------------- Right now binutils comes with the following "notes" entry in its portfile: {{{ "Having ${name} installed will cause some other ports to\ fail to build. Consider uninstalling ${name}." }}} I'd like to know which ports exactly these are, or at least have a link to a Trac ticket or something, so I can be better informed about whether I should actually follow this advice to uninstall it or not. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37921> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

It looks like the current version of the binutils port no longer builds the assembler though... -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37921#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

If we keep the message, we should re-word it to encourage using `port -t` in case of build failures. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37921#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
