Main.log from PPC Leopard

Hi Peter -- I was expecting to hear from you about this! I updated this just for you.

Please try gcc6.

Please try gcc6.

I already tried port -vd upgrade blackbox configure.compiler=macports-gcc-6. It leads to this:

The last three lines are repeated a number of times. And this number is almost equal to ∞.

There is an end:

[kencu (Ken)]

Oh, yes -- as per the other tickets you opened, all the libgcc infrastructure had a slight error in it, and it's been fixed now. Should be OK again when that fix gets to you, and then try the gcc6 build.

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

Replying to kencu:

I'll try again in the morning!

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

It built this morning with GCC 6.
