babl @0.1.12 build failure (codegen)

[ghajek@…]

OS X 10.5, PPC. Full log attached.

This followed a 'port -fp uninstall installed' and reinstall, so everything else is current.

This may be because as far as I know clang just doesn't work well on PowerPC.

No need to CC the ticket reporter -- trac does it automatically. If reporting a 10.5 issue please add leopard to the keywords.

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

This appears to the same issue as reported against gtk3 @3,22,0 in #52468. Almost certainly a consequence of the current toolchain issues on 10.5 ppc. Please refer to that ticket for a more detailed discussion of the problem and possible solutions (or lack of them currently).

[kencu (Ken)]

resolved by fixing compiler selection on PPC and then tweaking compiler blacklisting in the babl Portfile.
