Two of the libgccs are stubs, the rest are not. so it is pretty much as bad as it looks.

Once gcc13 is the default gcc used on older systems, it would be hoped that it would cover off most needs. Up to now, though, older systems have used gcc7, and in a few cases gcc5 or gcc48 are used for specific issues. So those gcc versions may still be needed ... time will tell. If the whole

I was not aware that supporting the bootleg crippled 10.6 PPC pre-beta had anything to do with why nobody had gotten around to updating the gcc version used on older systems. At least, it was not anywhere on my radar. Just -- nobody did the legwork. Ken On 2024-03-28, at 11:47 AM, Sergio

supporting all the gcc versions between gcc 8 and 12 on older systems will be quite a bit of work and require a lot of build time for poor users of these systems. To have libgcc7, the way it is now, you need to build libgcc13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, and then 7. That is -- a lot of gcc building for

the cmake port is very very far behind. cmake-devel has been updated to the newest version currently available (3.29.0) for most systems, and then newest supportable (3.28.4) for 10.7 and < 10.6. Please try out if you care to, as cmake-devel should become cmake soon. If you are interested in

Some of your macports installations are installed as the root user, instead of the macports user. This happened because there is no installer for 10.6-ppc to automatically create the macports user. You have an open ticket about this too, where I pointed to the commands to be run to generate

It's easier to help if we can see the link line you're using, but in short you need to make sure that lobjc is in the link libs, sometimes by explicitly adding it: LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -framework Cocoa -lobjc" K > On Jun 10, 2024, at 8:08 AM, Gagan Sidhu via macports-dev > wrote: > > hi team,
