Summary: fdupes build brokenfdupes is not UsingTheRightCompiler

The log says:

:info:build gcc: Error: You should be using ${configure.cc}
:info:build See https://trac.macports.org/wiki/UsingTheRightCompiler
:info:build To suppress this error for the purposes of getting things done,
:info:build edit the binpath variable in /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf.

It took me a while to realize that you were only quoting the log in order to justify your change to the Summary.

To make it work you can add this to the post-patch block:

    reinplace "s|gcc|${configure.cc}|g" ${worksrcpath}/Makefile

Replying to dave@…:

Yes; the summary should describe the actual problem; "build broken" is very generic and not descriptive. I also wanted to point out that the error message was self-imposed; you have evidently followed the steps in UsingTheRightCompiler, which are designed to provoke this error message; users who have not done so would not have been affected.

To make it work you can add this to the post-patch block:

    reinplace "s|gcc|${configure.cc}|g" ${worksrcpath}/Makefile

Thanks, I'll look into it.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

Such a reinplace would use the right compiler, but would not fix the other problem that ports that aren't using the right compiler usually suffer from as well, which is using the right -arch flags. The problem is the Makefile is poorly-written and does not expose the usual variables one uses to influence these things. Fortunately a newer development version is available, and its Makefile is a bit improved, so I back-ported some of those changes in r100902.
