Only if you've used gcc_select to select that version.

You don't. MacPorts will use the Xcode provided by gcc. This is by design. It would be a testing nightmare if users were allowed to select their own compiler. We don't have the resources to support that. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
