Hello everyone, I just wanted to know how much time it takes to GCC43 to compile. I've been doing this for more than an hour, and it seems that it's never going to end. I'm on a MacBook Pro, Santa Rosa generation. Thank you all, aa

gcc43 Released?
by Michael Franz 21 Mar '08

21 Mar '08

Hi, I see that java and fortran are in the default configuration, does that mean that gcc 4.3 has been released? It seems that the error that I had before and others have found that the 64 bit version creates bad binaries that cause problems for the 64 bit ld. Below is the error: name /opt/local/lib/gcc43/x86_64/libgcj.9.dylib -compatibility_version 10 -current_version 10.0 /usr/bin/ld: fatal error in /usr/bin/ld64 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[5]: *** [libgcj.la] Error 1 make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: *** [multi-do] Error 1 make[2]: *** [all-multi] Error 2 make[1]: *** [all-target-libjava] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 I found another link that discusses a similar issue with 4.2 http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2007-06/msg00025.html . I am building on Tiger (10.4.11) with Xcode 2.5 Michael

(how ever one might use that) Sure, you could try port clean. "sudo port clean --work git-core". Then try installing again. Manually cleaning shouldn't be necessary though if the portfile was updated, since MacPorts will see that the portfile differs and will clean automatically. Does it try to install 1.5.4.4 now or still 1.5.3.7? If it still doesn't work, what is the error message? P.S: Please use Reply All when replying so everybody gets your reply, not just me. It also helps the flow of conversation if you bottom- post instead of top-post.

how to delete deactivated ports
by J P Lewis 20 Mar '08

20 Mar '08

Hello, (a novice question) I installed a package (py25-matplotlib), had some trouble with using it, then did a port selfupdate, then upgraded the package. In the process, a number of packages were deactivated. For example, it looks like I now have two copies of python25, numpy, 3 copies of libpng, etc. How can I uninstall these now (to clean up and save disk space)? For example port uninstall python25 @2.5.1_2+darwin_8 says that I cannot uninstall this (deactivated) python because other things depend on it. Most of those things are things that I'm actively using (py-readline for example). should I uninstall and reinstall all of these? If so, it seems like upgrading is a bad strategy, one can save work by uninstalling and reinstalling?

That is correct. MacPorts base was not outdated, therefore MacPorts base was not updated. However, your port definitions were outdated, and they were updated, even if it didn't say so. Now try installing git-core again.
