  • Ticket #25562 – Description

    initial v1  
    33For readability, I've separated the changes into five cumulative patches. Their effects are:
    44
    5 1 - Update to newest MIRIAD upstream release
    6 2 - Remove unnecessary manual --prefix option to configure
    7 3 - Explicitly disable building of docs unless requested with +docs
    8 4 - Implement telescope choice with a default-on variant +ata
    9 5 - Allow the user to use custom compilers, if he/she wants to
    10     live dangerously, via the gcc_select mechanism.

     9 5. Allow the user to use custom compilers, if he/she wants to live dangerously, via the gcc_select mechanism.

    1211I suspect the last one might be a bit controversial. MIRIAD is a heavily numerical piece of software, and compiler choice can make a large difference in its performance. Several users have wanted to use proprietary compilers to build MIRIAD to take advantage of their better numerical optimizations. The people who are interested in doing this are aware that this is not a configuration that can be generically supported by myself or MacPorts.
