Re: libcryptopp needs updating (is Raphael will with us?)
Hi Raphael, Thank you so very much for updating libcryptopp! I wasn't aware that I could get the maintainer email address the way you suggested. Instead, I had searched my email archives for MacPorts and sent the email to at...@mps.mpg.de (that may have been a different Raphael? Sorry). -Tabitha On Wed, May 22, 2013 at 1:59 AM, Raphael Straub raph...@macports.orgwrote: Hi, Tabitha McNerney wrote: I noticed that the port for libcryptopp is out of date (current port fetches version 5.6.1 which was released in 2010 ... a 2013 version came out, 5.6.2).

The argv[0] each executable sees does depend on the name used to call it,
so runtime behavior might be different, or even incorrect. (I have not
tried it.) But they're still just different names for the same files.
Thank you for pointing that out, I hadn't inspected enough to realize they
are hard links.
If I want to compile some C or C++ code without any help from Apple's
tools (for example the way I might do on a Linux system), would I simply
use the top list (gcc* and g++*) and avoid the bottom list (x86*)?
Yes.
How divorced are you hoping to get from Apple's tools? Our GCC ports
still use, at a minimum, Apple's assembler and archiver (via cctools) and
linker (via ld64), as well as OS X's bundled zlib.
For a particular project I am working on, my boss asked me if there was a
way to compile some code from source (which depends on and will use of some
advanced cryptography potentially for highly sensitive business), such
that, in his words, it is not dependent on any compiler tools from a
corporation like Apple, Google or Microsoft and he said it should be the
same as what is used by open source Linux distros. So this would mean gcc
but it makes me think I might need to do something unique such as making
gcc from source on my own since my boss doesn't want there to be any
company fingerprints (he's really worried but also its his job that could
be on the line). For special purposes, is it fairly easy to make gcc and
g++ from source, on OS X, in a way that is in fact divorced from the
Apple tools?
I also have Xcode installed on this Mac and for some code to compile I
do not want to use Apple's gcc bundled with Xcode. So given the above, do I
need to use gcc_select and if so any suggestions on how best to do so?
If you want gcc to be a MacPorts compiler instead, use sudo port
select gcc (which was several years ago known as gcc_select). You can
learn more about how to use port select by running port help select.
You might also be able to configure Xcode to run your desired compiler
directly (e.g., /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-4.7).
If I do this, the same will apply from what you wrote above, true (about
the assembler, archiver, linker, zlib)?
Thank you for the suggestions!

For special purposes, is it fairly easy to make gcc and g++ from source, on OS X, in a way that is in fact divorced from the Apple tools? If you don't trust the compilers provided by Apple in Xcode, then you can't trust any compiler built by MacPorts, since MacPorts will build its compilers using a compiler from Xcode. Not trusting your vendor's compiler seems needlessly paranoid. Then again I don't write security-critical software. Using, say, a compiler binary provided by Apple to compile your software does not somehow give Apple any rights to your software. That would be silly. You could ask your boss to clarify his intent, but it sounds like what he wants is for the source code you write to not *require* a specific compiler, but to be *portable* to any normal C compiler. That's a reasonable requirement, and is one that's followed by most of the software ported by MacPorts. The C language is standardized, as is C++; assuming you write standards-compliant code, and don't use e.g. Apple- or Microsoft-specific language or compiler extensions, you should have no problem compiling it on a variety of compilers. You can compile your code with a variety of compilers on a variety of systems to verify if you're succeeded in this goal. ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users

Problems installing ffmpeg 1.2.1
Having a problem getting the 1.2.1 version installed. When I search for ffmpeg in available ports, the result I see is ffmpeg 1.2.1 and the associated Portfile also lists 1.2.1 as the version. However, when I run sudo port install ffmpeg +nonfree, I get version 1.1.2 installed. If I then uninstall 1.1.2 and run ffmpeg @1.2.1+nonfree I still get the 1.1.2 version installed. Is there some other syntax or procedure to force the installation of 1.2.1 rather than 1.1.2? Maybe download the Portfile and run it locally?

John, have you run sudo port selfupdate to make sure your ports and MacPorts base are up to date? If so, and this is still happening, is it possible you have deliberately set up a local portfile repository, which contains this older ffmpeg 1.1.2 port?
