libnc-dap: always use gcc42, not just on i386

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

libnc-dap uses gcc40 on powerpc and gcc42 on i386. I imagine that gcc40 was used on powerpc because it was the latest stable release at the time, and gcc42 was used on i386 because earlier gccs don't work on Intel Macs. But now that gcc42 is out of beta, it should be used always. I'll attach a patch.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The patch libnc-dap.diff does the following things:

• removes powerpc and i386 platform selectors
• defines variant gcc42, default, unless g95 is selected
• adds variant descriptions
• fixes name of gfortran (has been "gfortran-mp-42" for awhile)
• gcc is a build dependency, not a library dependency

Note that I have not tested this patch, because I do not use the libnc-dap software. Please test the patch to ensure it works, and then commit it. (If you don't have commit access, let me know and I'll be happy to commit it.)

This is a supporting library for netcdf+OPeNDAP clients and servers. It looks OK with g95... I don't use gfortran. Would be nice if someone could test with gcc42.

Has duplicate #13863.

I think it's time this fix was committed. It works for me on i386 with gcc42. It works for the maintainer with g95; see comment 2. Unfortunately nobody tested it on powerpc, but I believe the fix is correct, so I committed it in r33937.

Please wait 12 hours, then "sudo port selfupdate" and try to install or upgrade libnc-dap, as appropriate. If you're on powerpc, it would be appreciated if you would add a note saying whether this worked or not. Thanks.
