Yes I am referring to the Wiki article found here... http://trac.macports.org/wiki/UsingTheRightCompiler
I just can't say a lot for Clang. I have mentioned this before. I have taken many suggestions. Tried Tried and Tried some more to like Clang. I just can't do it. Its ugly. It causes more problems between ports that depend on one another, yet some are built with Clang, other built with GCC. I am simply fed up with Clang and I don't really want to use it anymore. Clang does't respect architecture settings, no matter which I use (i386 or x86_64). Case and point - Pango crashes during compile no matter which Arch I use: *libtool: link: /usr/bin/clang -o .libs/pango-basic-coretext.so -bundle .libs/basic-coretext.o -framework Carbon -L/opt/local/lib -O2 -arch x86_64 -arch x86_64 -framework Carbon -Wl,-exported_symbols_list,.libs/pango-basic-coretext-symbols.expsym* *Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:* *<snip unnecessary error output>* *ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64* *clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)* I am just sick of running into linking errors -- either they happen now, or they happen eventually during an upgrade. Either way, I usually end up getting frustrated, and wiping out my whole ports tree, and attempt to rebuild from scratch. In this caseā¦I still hit that link error with Pango. Would someone PLEASE just tell me how I can force the default compiler to be GCC. No configure.compiler does not work, and no environment variables CC CPP CXX do not work. I have both set to gcc-4.2 and yet Pango still defaults to use Clang and crashes no matter what I try. I don't want to edit every single Portfile when I hit this issue, because when I sync again, my changes go away. There simply HAS to be some way of forcing Macports to use the compiler that I want to use and not argue and not make changes whenever and just do what I tell it to. Is that so much to ask? Can I please just use GCC and never EVER have to see another Clang linking error again. PLEASE!???! Thanks, Jeff
