    11What I'm experiencing now with macports reminds me of linux package managers during the late 1990's/early 2000's when they were in their infancy but as time progressed they became reliable. Although, it is inevitable that ports for ppc architecture will no longer be supported in the very near future, still, I feel that this dual core 2.0Ghz, 16Gb, Quadro FX 4500 powerpc is worth the effort. I know that I lack experience with macports and programming, but I take this as an opportunity to learn as much as I can because this machine still could be used for graphics/cad.
    2 Thanks to previous tickets, I have been able to install all dependencies using different compilers. However, I read that using several compilers may cause runtime issues down the road. Before I ran into the problem with qhull, I had used the default compiler which I think is gcc4.0 to install all dependencies up to that point. With py27shiboken, I tried gcc{6,5,4.2.4.5}, but I did not keep the log files explaining those errors. Eventually, I tried the "-s" option with gcc48 and it installed with no errors.  Also py27-shiboken had a dependency of sparsehash, swig, swig-python, which were not installed before py27-shiboken. When I tried to install freecad, it failed to configure. This is the log file for freecad.

Gcc6 failed with a linker error.
    33I think I made a mistake with the compiler I used. I had gotten tired and forgot what I was doing. I shutdown after that.
    44Even though pyside and pyside-tools installed, during the build there were a lot warnings of issues(more than 300). I was going to sent the log file for them, but there's no entry for them. I'm guessing that if a package installs, port cleans up the log file.
