Hello,

How do I set the freshly installed gcc42 as the default compiler on my system? Or at least make new ports compile with gcc42.

I assume you can edit the gcc_select command, since it's a shell script: I wondered about the same thing myself.

[/Users/paul]:: file `which gcc_select` /usr/sbin/gcc_select: Bourne shell script text executable

Having said that (and looked at the script's guts), it doesn't look trivial to do ;-) However, running gcc_select with the -n flag gives you all the steps and you could build your own gcc selector/switcher, instead of hacking on the system script.
