Is GCC 4.0 or GCC 4.2 needed? Could llvm-2.9 perform the job?

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Peter, please update to base trunk if you're going to be trying out Tiger/ppc.

No, I suspect llvm-2.9 will fail miserably because you're on ppc.

Yes, I suspect applc-gcc-4.2 is needed.

What is this "base trunk"? Is it somewhere documented?

[Veence (Vincent)]

You cannot use gcc3 series to build modern gcc > 4.5 libraries. Your best move would be to install gcc45 first, then use gcc45 as a compiler to compile a more modern gcc using the configure.compiler inline option :

port install libstdcxx configure.compiler=macports-gcc-4.5

Viel Glück!

I tried with

port install libstdcxx configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2

which lead to a somehow familiar error, one that I met when I tried to build on Snow Leopard software that would also run on Tiger:

This -mlong-branch flag is disturbing quite often. How can I build sane crt1.o and crt3.o object files for GCC 4.2 with MacPorts?

[Veence (Vincent)]

You can’t. crt1.o is a standard preamble snippet tied to apple gcc-4.2. If you want to get rid of this warning, you have no choice but building a new compiler and using it.

I have installed

  apple-gcc42 @5666.3_10 (active)
  gcc43 @4.3.6_7 (active)
  libstdcxx @4.7.2_2 (active)

Gcc43 seems to pretty useless, since

port dependents gcc43

reports

gcc43 has no dependents.

And since libstdcxx from GCC 4.7.2 could be built, with GCC 4.2, then I would prefer to install gcc47. Or even gcc48 or later…

Exactly this was my question: How can I rebuild the gcc42 package with MacPorts in a way that this flag does not gets used?

Outside of MacPorts I seem to have had some success…

This sounds as if I would need to install MacPorts a second time, now using that subversion command (and I have subversion @1.7.9_1 active) and possibly having a new PATH setting. Or will the software from mports just overwrite the recent port software and leave everything else intact and as is?

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

You just need to update base, not all of your ports.

Replying to jeremyhu@…:

I've done so, but I don't see any change. I still see the same failures. None of the outdated packages can be upgraded:

gtk2                           2.24.16_0 < 2.24.17_1     
libgsf                         1.14.25_0 < 1.14.26_1     
libstdcxx                      4.7.2_2 < 4.8-20130411_0   
xorg-server-devel              1.12.99.0_3 < 1.14.99.0_0   

gtk2 and libgsf seem to have problems with updated gobject-introspection @1.36.0_0, which might be solved some day.

The few unique entries seem to suggest that a patch for configure scripts exists here: ​http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs?root=gcc&view=rev&rev=141805, and that the problem seems to have been fixed with the GCC 4.4.0 release.

So it might be worth to try the built with the last release of GCC 4.4.x… (or install a GCC 4.2.1 with the patched configure scripts)

Silly idea: all gcc4x packages depend on libstdcxx 4.8-20130411 or whatever is elected…

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

This should be fixed with the libgcc.patch in #38814 which will be landing shortly.
