when installing font forge by:

sudo port install fontforge

I get

Let's not overlook that you're running a pre-release version of Mac OS X Lion.

See ​http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=2951

It seems to be a bug in llvm-gcc that the team refuses to fix. If I use clang for compiling the same command that is failing works fine, but I didn't yet figure out how to do reconfigure macports to use clang.

[mojca.miklavec.lists@…]

Using the same patch as wine package does

if {${configure.compiler} == "llvm-gcc-4.2" ||
    ${configure.compiler} == "clang"} {
    configure.compiler gcc-4.2
}

solves the problem for me.

Well since you said clang works for you in your comment above, you should try using clang instead of gcc-4.2 ...

[jeremyhu@…]

Built it fine with clang, r80372
