'portconfigure.tcl' from trunk will chose a default for darwin 7/8/9 (gcc3.3/4.0/4.0). Please test it! Just replacing /opt/ local/share/macports/Tcl/port1.0/portconfigure.tcl with http:// svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/base/src/port1.0/ portconfigure.tcl manually should do the trick.

This version also fixes a bug that when using configure.compiler every user-added compiler selection (e.g. 'configure.cc /bin/true') was overwritten.

This is going to break ports that require a different compiler, but specify the compiler using configure.env, or arguments to configure via configure.args.

Then we should start cleaning ports. All those that specify a different compiler via configure.env should be updated to use configure.cc, etc. Those that use configure.args (or build.args I've also seen) should... I don't know, be tested to see if they can instead use configure.cc (or build.cc, etc.; do we have that?).

Indeed. "configure.env" is not officially supported anymore anyway... some ports cant do without, but most can. Please everybody clean your ports.

Why isn't configure.env supported anymore?


oops - sorry, my fault! I really wanted to say:
Using configure.env directly should be avoided - we do have a nice set of commands for setting the most used flags at configuration time. If you cannot do without, of course it is still supported.


The new guide documents this option, and does not mention anything about it being deprecated or unsupported. If it is unsupported, the guide should state that, and recommend alternatives.

Well yes. We should probably though put our manpages online, too and clearly state that if in doubt the manpage is right.
