This is true of the version of clang included in Xcode 3 on Snow Leopard; it only provided the C compiler `clang` and relied on `llvm-g++` to be the C++ compiler. This tells us this project is not UsingTheRightCompiler. And if `clang++` is truly required, then the port needs to blacklist some old compilers as well. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45112#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

It looks like it failed to build on the Snow Leopard buildbot.

Based on [https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45112#comment:3 the workaround I posted above], I expect that adding a MacPorts-packaged version of Clang[#asterisk1 *] as a dependency might help in this regard. For reasons unknown to me, Xcode 3.2.6 on OS X 10.6.8 does not provide the `clang++` command, whereas the MacPorts clang-3.6 package does. [=#asterisk1 *] Clang-3.6 worked for me, but perhaps other MacPorts- packaged versions would also have worked.

I'm sorry but I don't have the time, interest or ability to support versions of OS X that are [https://www.macports.org not supported by Macports]. Someone will have to step up and supply a tested patch to this ticket. Re-open this ticket if so and I will commit it.

Unless I'm mistaken, "legacy" ≠ "unsupported". MacPorts certainly provides an [https://www.macports.org/install.php#installing up-to-date installer] for Snow Leopard, which suggests support; and the machine for which I'm reporting the issue meets the [https://www.macports.org/install.php#requirements MacPorts system requirements]. That's not to say I'm asking ''you'' to do work you're not interested in or equipped for. On the contrary, I'm very grateful for your having tried to help! But please don't close a valid ticket as ''wontfix''. Thanks again :) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45112#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

We still provide MacPorts installers for versions back to 10.4, and some of us try to provide best-effort support for older systems, but inevitably more and more ports fail to build anymore the farther back you go in OS X releases. However, in this case, you discovered that selecting a particular version of clang affected the port and allowed it to build. It's a bug for a port to be affected by what you do with "port select", on any OS X version, and it should be fixed. That will also be the first step to resolving the build failure on older OS X versions. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45112#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

In fact we have the qmake portgroup to help with such matters. I've already modified the portfile; I'm just testing it on Snow Leopard now. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45112#comment:12> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
