Re: How many versions of clang/llvm are currently required to maintain a system

[Bob Bishop]

Hi,

A big chunk of this is down to lang/pure. The upstream links for pure at 
bitbucket.org have mysteriously disappeared; those who care may get an uneasy 
feeling.

A question: woud there be any advantage in separating out the kernel module 
from the rest of it? Just asking, because I have no idea about the stability of 
the components and interfaces.

The work has already been done for most ports.  Lapack is one of the
few that doesn't use gfortran42 by default.  See

local/www/db/text/2007/freebsd-ports/20070318.freebsd-ports


OK, I wasn't aware of that good work because I don't read -ports. Thanks

I was taking a look at why math/lapack fails to build on -CURRENT and
discovered that the port uses ${FC} to find the FORTRAN compiler.  I
then discovered that /usr/share/mk/sys.mk defines ${FC} as f77 (or
fort77).  I don't this is appropriate since f77 has been removed from
-CURRENT.

I don't know what the proper fix is, but I though I should point  
out the

problem ...



There are two bugs here. 1) FC should be removed.


Why? One might well want the option to use any of the several FORTRAN  
compilers from ports.



2) The various ports that use Fortran should use gfortran42
installed with lang/gcc42.


The various ports that use Fortran should be checked to see what  
version of FORTRAN they want. I suspect the easiest fix is to have  
$FC empty by default and for dependent ports to output a helpful  
diagnostic.
A better fix would be to make ports dependent on an appropriate  
compiler port, but that's a lot of work and some users will prefer  
ifc anyway.
