I'm on a Powerbook G4 with an updated OS 10.x.
I just installed MacPorts today; when I go to try and install gcc, see
what happens:
root# port install gcc42

Uh, okay - there is no working compiler, because I was trying to install
it to begin with ;-)
Okay, let's try a selfupdate:
forrest-aldrichs-powerbook-g4-17:~ root# port selfupdate
MacPorts base version 1.5 installed
Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.5
The MacPorts installation is not outdated and so was not updated
selfupdate done!
Good. All is well there. Let's check to see that the info command
returns the correct result:
forrest-aldrichs-powerbook-g4-17:~ root# port info gcc42
gcc42 4.2.0, lang/gcc42 (Variants: universal, darwin_8, odcctools)
http://gcc.gnu.org/
The GNU compiler collection, including front ends for C, C++,
Objective-C, Objective-C++, Java and Fortran95.
Library Dependencies: gmp, mpfr, libiconv
Platforms: darwin
Maintainers: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Looks good.
So, can someone explain what I may have done wrong here.
Thanks,
Forrest
You still don't have a working compiler. You need to install Apple's dev
tools to obtain one. "port info gcc42" just provides the information
about the port, it doesn't mean the port is installed.
I know this seems counterintuitive, since MacPorts pretty much builds
all of its own stuff and tries not to depend on anything
Apple-installed, but Apple's gcc is one of the foundational things it
needs to bootstrap itself.
