clamav @0.101.2 does not build on PPC Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4.11, because GCC 4.2 does not seem to understand "-Wno-logical-op-parentheses" and "-Wno-dangling-else"

Main.log from PPC Tiger

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

The build succeeded with the command line option configure.compiler=macports-gcc-6. And freshclam ran.

Can you provide a patch that works?

I don't have a 10.4 PPC system to test with. I'm willing to patch the port if someone with a system can test and verify it.

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

Replying to danielluke:

Can you provide a patch that works?

No, I cannot, I do not write or speak Portfile, I only learned a few tricks with port on the command line. What I can assume is that GCC 4.2 needs to be blackmailed and then GCC 6 or 7 or 8 will be used automatically (because a useful Clang version does not yet work on PowerPC hardware), maybe a dependency of GCC 6 or 7 or 8 needs to be created in case no GCC 6 or 7 or 8 is already installed.

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

I don't have a system to test on, and I'm not willing to spend a lot of time on an unsupported OS. If you can generate a patch or find someone who can generate and test a patch, then I'm happy to apply it, otherwise this won't get fixed.
