archcheck portgroup fails when compiling on ppc7450

[marco.comini@…]

With revision 2 of the GHC portfile my PowerBook 1.5 (OS 10.4.11, Xcode 2.5) stops almost immediately saying

--->  Configuring ghc
Error: You cannot install ghc for the architecture(s) ppc because
Error: its dependency gmp only contains the architecture(s) ppc7450.
Error: 
Error: Did you upgrade to a new version of Mac OS X? If so, please see
Error: 
Error:     http://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration
Error: 
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: incompatible architectures in dependencies

[I did not upgraded the OS.]

I've made nothing fancy to set architecture to ppc7450 instead of just pcc. It is something autodetected.

Should I do something different or is the Portfile that has to be fixed?

Thanks for the help.

Curious, I haven't encountered the processor type ppc7450 before. We need to add a special case for this to the archcheck portgroup, just like we did for the ppc7400 in r58392 / r59181 / r59182. In case there are even more PowerPC processor types we haven't thought of yet, I could also add a check if the architecture we found is known, and if not, show an error that more clearly indicates that the archcheck portgroup needs to be updated.

This should be done in r64862.

This should be done in r64863.
