main.log for yap install

[pmoura (Paulo Moura)]

The problem is fixed on the current git version of YAP 6.3 and, I think, on the current git version of YAP 6.2. Hopefully, YAP 6.2.2 stable will be released soon.

[gjasny@…]

Bump to latest stable and fix building with newer Xcode

So this port is quite broken, at least on Lion, and I suspect everywhere, although I didn't try any other systems.

The software has moved to <​https://github.com/vscosta/yap-6.3/> and the homepage is <​http://www.dcc.fc.up.pt/~vsc/yap/> now.

I tried making a github port, using cmake, and the cxx11 1.1 PG, and I got through for a while. It builds a version of itself along the way, maybe for testing, maybe for bootstrapping, around 85%. The build fails there, although you can get farther by using install_name_tool on the yap binary and showing it where it's support lib is (same directory). Then it fails later on with

no member named unordered_map in namespace std.

At that point I gave up. It's still listed as a preview release on github. Not sure -- if it doesn't work on any other systems either, we should probably just delete it as non-functional.

See #58428.

yap fails to build on everything.

we'll call this a dup of #55370 where there is at least some interest in trying to give it CPR...
