Description
I was having problems building the objc port, but then I ran port livecheck on it and saw that it's been updated, so maybe it builds properly in the new version?
gl00b05047:~ root# port livecheck objc objc seems to have been updated (port version: 3.2.8, new version: 3.2.11)

Note: it doesn't. I've been working on trying to write a new portfile and it looks like it's going to be a lot more complicated than simply updating the version number and checksums... You can check out my WIP here: https://github.com/cooljeanius/LocalPorts/tree/master/lang/objc

So I have been working on this some more, and I have now split off the bootstrap compiler into a separate port: https://github.com/cooljeanius/LocalPorts/blob/master/lang/objc-bootstrap/Portfile
The bootstrap compiler compiles successfully, but it still fails to bootstrap the objc port though, with this error:
Block.m:41: fatal: syntax error "@implementation"
which makes no sense because "@implementation" is something that you would expect an Objective-C compiler to understand... I am thinking that I will have to get in touch with the upstream project for help with this...

So I got in touch with the upstream project last year, and they said not to split off the bootstrap compiler into a separate port after all, and instead just to leave it as it is as a single port... they also made a new release, 3.3.8, to address some issues I raised, but I haven't checked to see if that actually gets it to build now...

update: version is up to 3.3.24 now:
$ port -v livecheck objc objc seems to have been updated (port version: 3.2.8, new version: 3.3.24) $
crap I forgot to set this to "update" instead of "defect"
