Complete install log

[evanmiller (Evan Miller)]

libproxy does compile successfully on the same platform with configure.compiler=macports-gcc-7.

[evanmiller (Evan Miller)]

According to this thread:

​https://lists.isocpp.org/std-discussion/2021/08/1372.php

The "data" member of std::vector was not included in Apple GCC 4.2, and was not standardized until C++11.

[kencu (Ken)]

looks like you nailed it. Our usual next step would be to add *gcc-4.* to the compiler blacklist for the port, referencing this ticket.

libproxy: blacklist older gcc compilers (​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/11997)

Closes: #63267

[kencu (Ken)]

std::vector.data first appeared in mainline GCC 4.1, but was absent from Apple GCC 4.2, and not standardized until C++11.

In ffb07038fe613a2c3df0f8bdeedbe33b1355fc72/macports-ports (master):

libproxy: needs c++11

the previous blacklisting of older gcc versions
was an incomplete fix; it did force gcc7 on PPC,
but with 10.5 Intel, it forces a build with clang-7.0
against the old non-c++11 libstdc++, which fails.

if we use our compiler.cxx_standard, all is well.
