Yes, you can expect a PowerPC Mac to take a lot longer than an Intel Mac to build any port, since the Intel Mac has a higher CPU clock speed and has multiple processor cores. My Power Mac G4 has been building gcc45 for the past 11 hours, but it's 466 MHz so I'm sure it'll take another day or two to finish. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
