htdig-3.1.6 configure script exits with request to install c++, -Wno-deprecated complains and exists compilation.

[itabtabai@…]

I googled around and found out that CXXFLAGS=-Wno-deprecated would solve the problem of configure script exiting. However, once I try to compile the compiler compalins about -Wno-deprecated being for C++ and ObjC++ only and it exits on error. Below find tail for config.log and the output from build after the flag was set. Note that I tried to reproduce the problem one more time, I couldn't. CPPFLAGS would make configure complain about gcc, and CXX would make it complain about C++.

fixed (Portfile now forces htdig to compile with gcc3.3)

I'm reopening this ticket for Leopard (10.5) users. I tried installing and forcing the compiler to be 3.3 as suggested above but for Leopard, it complains about gcc/cc 3.3 not being able to create executables. The default for Leopard is gcc/cc 4.0 and the XCode tools need it to create executables. Here is what I get when I try to install htdig as-is:

Cc maintainer.

There is no gcc-3.3 in Xcode 3 by default.

ostream.h, iostream.h and fstream.h sounds like very old software which should be fixed upstream. These headers are only available in the backward subdirectory of c++ (/usr/include/c++/4.0.0/backward). C++ headers don't end in .h any more for a long time.

[blb@…]

Since gcc-3.3 isn't available on Intel-based Macs and htdig appears to have been orhpaned (last update was 2002 for stable version and 2004 for beta), I vote we drop this port. And objections?

Removed in r47845, no complaints from the  -users post or here.

Hi, no need to reopen this ticket but it might be interesting to note that Ht 3.2.0b6 does configure fine on OS X 10.6. However, it will not build
