swftools: configure fails with clang: Your gcc is too old to compile this!

[vincentdigitallife@…]

Hi,

I tried to install swftools (0.9.1 in the available ports) with the latest Mac Ports release 2.0.3 on Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion. But it failed the log is complaining GCC is too old. Of course I ran the macport selffupdate, and I have the latest Xcode 4.2.1 installed

:info:configure *****************************

:info:configure * Newer versions require at least gcc 3.0.0

Of course the error message is wrong; swftools is just under the mistaken impression that every compiler one might use to compile it is gcc. In this case, we're using clang; clang's version number happens to be lower than gcc's, though it is just as (or more) capable than gcc.

Actually, that's the problem we had in another port, but with swftools, I see they just wrote their test wrong. Fixed in r88456.

Gret news so how do I do to get/install r88456 Thanks

Same as always: selfupdate, clean, and try again.

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port clean swftools
sudo port install swftools
