'universal' is a variant every port has (except for a single port currently). if it works, it builds a universal binary, meaning a binary for intel macs and one for ppc macs glued together. darwin_8 is nothing you need to woryy about. it's automatically chosen if you're running tiger and ignored if you're not. odcctools builds gcc42 using ar, as, ld, and libtool provided by the odcctools port.

Hi,
I am thinking about installing gcc42 using MacPorts. The Port has three variants: universal, darwin_8 and odcctools. However, I cannot find documentation on these variants.
I would be especially interested in whether or not any of the variants makes the compiler usable as a drop-in replacement for apple's gcc, as in "is able to link to system framework".
Thanks in advance,
