Back around May, I migrated my stable/8 machines to stable/9. At that time, I also switched to clang from gcc for building the FreeBSD base system. (I expected quite a bit more "turbulence" were I to attempt that with ports.) Accordingly, I configured /etc/src.conf to read: CC=clang CXX=clang++ CPP=clang-cpp WITH_LIBCPLUSPLUS=yes and that has been working well for me since. (Disclosure: I track stable/9 daily, which is probably a higher frequency than most folks. For that matter, I also track head daily on the same machine (different slice).) In any case, there are no problems I can ascribe to having done that. Peace, david -- David H. Wolfskill [email protected] Taliban: Evil men with guns afraid of truth from a 14-year old girl.
