By default, darktable is built using GCC 4.6 (or later) on FreeBSD. This version of GCC is available as a package. However, some users prefer to stick with the compiler available in the base[1] (ie. GCC 4.2.1 on FreeBSD up-to 9, and clang in 10). [1] If you're not familiar with *BSD, the base system contains the kernel, some common libraries (libc, OpenSSL, zlib, ...), some tools and daemons (vi, bind, sendmail, a C/C++ compiler, ...). It's enough for simple servers, not for a desktop. Additional softwares are provided through the ports collection (non-binary packages) and binary packages. The compiler in the base is meant to build the base itself (called "buildworld", historical method to update *BSD) and, if possible, ports. However, the compiler in the base is not updated often. On FreeBSD up-to 9, this compiler is GCC 4.2.1 (last non-GPLv3 version) plus some backported patches from later versions. On FreeBSD 10, this compiler is replaced by last version of clang. The ports collection contains many versions of GCC (including 4.8 snapshots) and they can be used to build other ports (such as darktable, which defaults to GCC 4.6+, like many other ports). Unfortunately, some users consider the ports collection (or binary packages) as "second-class" system, and prefer to limit themselves to the softwares in the base. For darktable, a user who disables the build with GCC 4.6+ will be aware that he will loose OpenMP. But it's easy to support both solutions (at least for now) and please more users :-) -- Jean-Sébastien Pédron
