Re: opensp fails to build ==> fix

[Uli Wienands]

So trying opensp using clang 5 did work. In fact, it just pulled the 
binary that I guess Josh made; so thanks for that.

But not all is well; resuming the rev-upgrade I now get stuck at boost. 
It is actually mentioned on the port page that it fails on 10.6. Per the 
log it seems to fail near the end running something called b2. I tried 
clang 5 again but no luck this time (probably to be expected since the 
compiles didn't seem to generate any complaints).

Anyway; attached is the log.

With many thanks,

Uli

josh did the proper upstreamable fix to make it build with clang 9, so the 
issue with this port should be fixed now.

this is the right thing to do for all these, to be sure...and why we're the 
canaries :)

Thanks Bill & Ken for your insights. At last checks it looks like I should 
dstill have a working clang 5; my clang 8 is on the list of broken binaries so 
presumably now working anymore.

I'll work on opensp today or tomorrow & report back how I got it going.

I was not a fan of defaulting 10.6.8 to clang 9.0. After all the years of 
special-casing 10.6.8, I was hoping for some quiet times, and defaulting to 
clang 5.0, or maybe 6.0, would have provided that.

I think we're the canary in the coal mine right now.

For compensation, all macports devs should be required to set their default 
compiler to clang-9.0 :). We might as well have some company !
