gcc42 target bootstrap runs forever?
I executed sudo port upgrade active this morning. It made it through several different port upgrades, but when it got to gcc42 it just seemed to run forever. I don't know how long I let it run before killing it, but it had to be at least two-three hours. I'm going to try installing gcc43 instead. Should the gcc42 upgrade have worked? I've got MacPorts 1.6.0 and Xcode 2.5 installed on a Powerbook G4 running OSX 10.4.11. Thx, -- Skip Montanaro - skip@pobox.com - http://www.webfast.com/~skip/

gcc42 took about 6 hours to build and install on my 1.5-GHz PowerBook G4 back when I had it. If your PowerBook is slower, it'll take even longer. You can install with the -v flag to see what's going on, to show that it's still working, and not frozen. sudo port -v upgrade gcc42
