| Description: Placeholder package for manually installed cctools update

Hi Jeff,
Have you looked at the odcctools project
< />? It can also be used to
build gcc-4.0 on panther. Perhaps a package could be made of that that
installs somewhere out-of-the-way, and you can put the location at the head
of the PATH when building gcc-4.0.


Another point is that we already have a cctools package:
~ i cctools 525-1 [virtual package.....]
Can you not builddepend on cctools (>= 528.5-1)? Or does our cctools virtual
package guessing code not work correctly?


Peter


Peter: I remember now why I didn't do this - the cctools virtual package seems to refer to the entire Developer tools version. In this case, all that is needed is an update to the assembler (in fact, there is no update to the Dev Tools that provides this). The cctools-gcc4 placeholder package instructs users to download the updater from gcc.gnu.org (although the message is apparently confusing judging by the number of emails I've gotten).


An odtools package might be a better solution - although it could be complicated keeping it separate from the official apple dev tools. Unfortunately, I don't have time to go there right now.
