We continue to receive bug reports from users on Snow Leopard with Xcode 4.2 (and therefore no /usr/bin/gcc-4.2), who receive a package from our packages server that was built by the Snow Leopard buildbot which has Xcode 3.2.6 (and therefore builds things using /usr/bin/gcc-4.2), specifically for ports that bake the compiler name into themselves, such as perl5.12:
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36474 A suggestion made in that ticket is that we should disable the use of pre-built packages for such ports as we discover them. That could work, unfortunately one of the ports so affected is qt4-mac, which takes so long to compile that it would be awful to disable binary packages just for this reason. Another idea would be to encode the compiler name and/or the Xcode version into the package filename. I suggested that six months ago but didn't receive any response: http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2012-April/018689.html But if we restrict MacPorts to fetch only packages built of the same compiler and/or Xcode version, then we'd need more buildbots to build those extra packages. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
