Proposal: Since it seems that we are flat-out disallowing gcc being used as a C/C++ compiler, I think it's time to do some clean up of the code:
1) Rename gccXY to gcc-X.Y 2) Rename +gccXY variants to +gfortranXY 3) Start moving away from configure.compiler=macports-gcc* I think it's important for (2) to happen because it make the variant clear as to what it is adding (namely, just a fortran compiler). There are about ~100 ports with gcc variants / configure.compiler being set so, while not being trivial, it's not *that* bad. Due to development burden, I think this kind of decision needs to be across the board (e.g. not be conditional on the OS used). For this proposal, it will hopefully clear up some C++ linking bugs. As a first wave, these would be some ports to tackle: atlas dotwrp julia mpich-* octave openmpi-* petsc py-scipy qrupdate slepc And, of course, update the compilers and mpi portgroups to use the configure.compiler specified. If we can agree on a plan, I can volunteer to do this work and submit my work to be reviewed before committing. Comments welcomed. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
