#36626: pdftk @1.44 +gcc42 won't build on Snow Leopard

     Type:  defect                      |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal                      |  Milestone:
Component:  ports                       |    Version:  2.1.2
 Keywords:  pdftk, Snow Leopard, gcc42  |       Port:  pdftk
----------------------------------------+--------------------------------
 'port variants pdftk'  lists:
 {{{
 pdftk has the variants:
    gcc42: Build using gcc42
      * conflicts with gcc45 gcc47
 [+]gcc45: Build using gcc45
      * conflicts with gcc42 gcc47
    gcc47: Build using gcc47
      * conflicts with gcc42 gcc45
 }}}
 Since I don't want to have gcc45 or gcc47 I decided to 'port -v install
 pdftk +gcc42'. This first installs 'fastjar @0.94_0'  and then tries to
 install 'gcc42-4.2.4_7'. The latter fails:

 {{{
 Error: gcc42 does not build on Snow Leopard or later.
 Error: org.macports.fetch for port gcc42 returned: unsupported platform
 }}}

 This is already known and reported. Why is 'port variants pdftk'  still
 listing gcc42 as a variant on Snow Leopard?

 And why is port not using any of these installed compilers?

 {{{
 port select --list gcc
 Available versions for gcc:
         gcc40
         gcc42
         llvm-gcc42
         none (active)
 }}}
 {{{
 port select --list llvm
 Available versions for llvm:
         mp-llvm-3.1
         none (active)
 }}}
