And completely impossible to implement in that fashion in MacPorts. A port cannot depend on itself. If gcc48 does not build correctly except when built with gcc48, then I call that a bug in gcc48 that the developers of gcc need to fix, if they want anybody to be able to use gcc48. /usr/bin/gcc is not a compiler, by the way; it's a symlink to a compiler, and which compiler it's a symlink to varies by Xcode version, so it's more useful to talk about the actual compiler. These days, we usually compile with Xcode's clang. The version of clang varies by Xcode version too… _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
