poppler @0.55.0_0 fails to build on PPC Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5.8, because GCC 4.2 does not understand "-std=c++11"

GCC 4.2 seems to understand only these standards:

I think autoreconf introduces this faulty "-std=c++11"…

As of poppler 0.53 <​https://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/commit/?id=7ba4eb3ac3f23236e3df1ef992160d702dc5e4e9> the build system has been set to require c++11, according to the referenced commit.

So you'll have to use a newer gcc version, or wait for me to finish porting clang-3.8 to 10.4 and 10.5 PPC (done, nearly ready for prime time) and try that.

Am I already hit from your progress? When I now want to upgrade poppler it leads to:

you might try this:

sudo port -v upgrade poppler configure.compiler=macports-gcc-6

I think I installed poppler on an old box with the cxx11 1.1 hack, but I'm not sure to what extent this is applicable to 10.5.

[kencu (Ken)]

popper installs fine on 10.4 PPC and 10.5 PPC with macports-gcc-6.

It also installs fine on 10.5 PPC and appears to work correctly with the slightly modified version of clang-3.8 I made not long ago <​https://github.com/kencu/LeopardPorts/tree/master/lang/llvm-3.8>, using Marcus' -stdlib=macports-libstdc++ trick. I may see if I can sell that idea to Jeremy, as it has legs for 10.5 PPC I think.

The cxx11 portgroup does not work as it is with 10.5 PPC just now, but I think if we just blacklist clang-3.9 and clang-4.0 on PPC in that portgroup it could work then. Not everything builds with gcc6, but a lot of things do.

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

Replying to kencu:

Indeed, GCC 6 is needed.

[kencu (Ken)]

fixed somewhere along the line:

$ port -v installed poppler
The following ports are currently installed:
  poppler @0.81.0_0 (active) platform='darwin 9' archs='ppc' date='2019-10-06T10:46:44-0700'
