BUG: fluxbox needs GCC 4.x to build on "Panther" 10.3.9

[yaseppochi (Stephen J. Turnbull)]

The last few updates of x11/fluxbox have failed to build on my PowerBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.3.9 "Panther", due to problems with advanced C++ features used.

Finally I got around to trying a build with GCC 4.1 by adding this patch to the Portfile

I suspect that GCC-4.0 would be sufficient, but haven't tried that. Also, that patch is presumably inappropriate for "Tiger", so it should be conditional on darwin7. Note that as far as I know GCC-4.1 doesn't work out of the box on DarwinPorts, you need the patch I sent a couple of weeks ago (see issue 7167).

Oops, that should read "DarwinPorts on Max OS X 10.3.9".

Hi Stephen, is it still true with the current version (1.0rc2)? Do you still need to install gcc-4.1-dp?

I just installed fluxbox-1.0rc2 on 10.3 using Apple's default gcc3 with no problems at all. Can you post the error you are having?

It works fine for me on 10.3. You may reopen if you have more info.
