Sorry, I assumed you were running Mavericks, but you appear to be running an 
earlier version of OS X. (Snow Leopard perhaps?)

You didn’t tell MacPorts what port you wanted it to clean. Run:

sudo port clean rednotebook

Then try again. If it fails again, file a ticket and attach those logs.

It is included in both gcc and clang, and also included with Apple's clang.
It just isn't the abusable one any more; it is a *C* preprocessor, not a
Fortran preprocessor. And there is apparently an option to make clang's cpp
more permissive, but it is no more recommended than gcc's -traditional for
non-C use. (And I don't know if it is permissive enough to handle Fortran.)

I should mention that I work with another non-C compiler that similarly
abuses cpp --- and similarly broke with clang --- and am still trying to
cut through the misunderstandings and politics involved in getting it
replaced (we *have* a viable replacement already, just not the will to use
it apparently).

PortAuthority 6.0 released

2013-12-14 Thread Kevin Walzer
I've released version 6.0 of PortAuthority, my GUI for MacPorts. This 
new release includes a number of optimizations for Mavericks (10.9 is 
now required), Sparkle support, native API's for privilege escalation, 
better peformance and other improvements.


A 30-day demo is available from 
http://www.codebykevin.com/portauthority.html, and a license costs $30. 
Free upgrades are always available to registered users.


PortAuthority is the only actively-developed, up-to-date GUI for 
MacPorts, and if you have never tried it out, I encourage you to do so.


Thank you,
Kevin

Re: How to make c++ realize empty character constant ''?

2013-12-14 Thread Juhász Ádám
Oh dear. Just as I went around to do some research, I've realised that what
I'm actually talking about is ‘cc’ and not ‘cpp’, just mixed them up. (I
couldn't understand, why we couldn't agree.) For quite while I use
makefiles instead of the actual command and so this could easily slip my
mind.

That wasn't what I wanted to say anyways, I just wanted to point out, that
g++ (or gcc) is just what it called in the GNU family, and on the Mac,
Clang took it's place since Mavericks. With different tools from different
vendors, it is called differently.

But cpp still a C pre-compiler and we all can agree, that it is needed for
MacPorts, otherwise neither cc nor c++ would work properly, right?

I feel stupid now, and actually I wasn't needed here to begin with, so
sorry for the commotion.
