Why do we keep repeating these lines in so many portfiles? Why isn't "configure.compiler gcc-4.0" the default on darwin 8, and similarly, "configure.compiler gcc-3.3" the default on darwin 7?

If nothing else, it keeps those pesky "+darwin_8" variants alive. :-(

I don't even understand why there is a default compiler hard written in ports. gcc-4 is the default on Tiger, users who change this behaviour surely know some things may break.


The problem is that a user can use 'gcc_select' and you have no idea what 'gcc' .. executes on 10.4; if you know that your port is happy with any of the two, dont use a platform statement. If you dont want or dont can (e. g. on x86) to test your port with both compilers, state explicitly which one you know it compiles with. I have no idea what will happen to every single port if we tell port to automatically select a compiler if none is requested explicitly (though we can have a try).


'portconfigure.tcl' from trunk will chose a default for darwin 7/8/9 (gcc3.3/4.0/4.0). Please test it! Just replacing /opt/local/share/ macports/Tcl/port1.0/portconfigure.tcl with http://svn.macports.org/ repository/macports/trunk/base/src/port1.0/portconfigure.tcl manually should do the trick.

This version also fixes a bug that when using configure.compiler every user-added compiler selection (e.g. 'configure.cc /bin/true') was overwritten.
