If you'll elaborate on this problem perhaps we can help you solve it.
jbb@pinball:~
(1): % sudo port -s -f fetch gcc42
---> Fetching gcc42
Error: gcc42 does not build on Snow Leopard or later.
Oh, ok. Yeah, I don't think we're fixing that. Are none of the newer versions
of gcc suitable?
What does that mean? Are newer versions of gnu-gcc on macports that will run on
Snow Leopard?
I am on Snow Leopard and I have gcc43, gcc44, gcc45, gcc46 and gcc47
successfully installed. My understanding is that gcc42 is too old to be
successfully compiled on Snow Leopard anymore.
How droll! The command gcc --version returns i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1
(GCC) 4.2.1, and other stuff. Oh, well.
I've discovered that gcc44 downloads in pieces, but leaves out testsuite and
ada. Might I fool the port build by installing those two missing parts in the
distfiles/gcc44/ directory after a fetch but before building? I've interrupted
the compile and will remove the build parts if that works.
Shalom,
