Re: How to Select Compiler Version when Installing Port

That seems to have done the trick! If you had to do a lot of work to make the port work, it would be helpful if you contacted the maintainer of the port (look in the Makefile) and told them what you had to do. If there is no maintainer, the maintainer is ports@ or the maintainer doesn't do anything about it you could consider packaging your work up as a new port using the existing port as a starting point. See the porting handbook on the FreeBSD web site.

By default it seems to use gcc 3.2.2, and I have the port install of gcc 2.9.5 available I just don't know how to make 'make' use the older version. I am pretty spoiled with the ports collection in that I almost never have to compile anything without using a port. But I have managed to alter the source in work/ to get past a couple of the errors (missing/incorrect includes). Still getting stumped by lots of errors along the lines of this: - ../lib/libvmailmgr.a(cdb_get.o): In function `cdb_reader::get(mystring const&)': cdb_get.o(.text+0x355): undefined reference to `operator new(unsigned)' - I don't know how to work through those errors, and from what I've found on the net it doesn't compile with gcc 3+. So now I would like to try and using gcc 2.9.5 and see if that doesn't clear up the final (hopefully) issue. Any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
