ppl uses -Wno-long-double

[alex_a_bordeaux@…]

system: 10.6

as known from other packages: unsupported compiler flag -Wno-long-double

viz. configure.ac:

darwin*)
  darwin=yes
  if test x"$GCC" = xyes
  then
    CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wno-long-double"
    CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -Wno-long-double"
  fi
  ;;    

solution: don't know if there's a general solution for all these packages that use the "no-long-double" flag; i just tried to compile it without these flags and it seems to work (was able to use the examples in the ./demo directory)

also saw that license information is missing in portfile: its gpl v2 ;-)

[tobypeterson]

removed flag in r57066, didn't test compilation though

You seem to be using and old, obsolete version of the PPL. The -Wno-long-double issue was fixed almost two years ago:

• configure.ac (1.294): New versions of GCC on Darwin no longer support -Wno-long-double: we no longer use this option on that platform (people using older versions will simply get lots of warnings they can ignore).

i used the version included in ports (0.9), saw now on the webpage that the actual version is 0.10.2... maybe we should update the port!?

Definitely. Unless GPL v3+ is a problem for you (that is the license since version 0.10). But apart from this, there is no reason why you may want to use the old version.
