| 387 | | If your port works with neither clang nor llvm-gcc-4.2, use gcc-4.2; since on Xcode 4.2 and up (i.e. where the default compiler is clang) there is no included version of gcc-4.2, use apple-gcc-4.2 in that case. Use of this block should be considered a temporary stopgap measure. Please file a bug report with the upstream developers of the software so they can fix it to work with clang and llvm-gcc-4.2. Put a reference to the upstream bug report in the Portfile. |

| | 389 | If your port works with neither clang nor llvm-gcc-4.2, the fallback will be to gcc-4.2 (provided by the apple-gcc-4.2 port if it's not available). It is becoming increasingly important that ports build successfully with clang since it has been the default compiler since Xcode 4.2, and Apple no longer supports the use of gcc. |
| | 390 | |
| | 391 | If your port fails to build with the most recent current versions of clang, please file bugs upstream to fix issues when building with clang, and reference these bug reports in the Portfile, so other developers can followup. |
