No, what's actually happening is that `-traditional` is being passed; this causes gcc and its cpp to behave like the old ATT Portable C Compiler that was available on older commercial Unix systems, so that it can compile pre-ANSI (sometimes called KR) C code. PCC's cpp was a straight textual substitution macro processor that did not understand the syntax of what it was substituting; ANSI C compilers cannot use that kind of macro processor. The -traditional option to gcc and its cpp exists only to support pre-ANSI (KR) C code. It happens to also be abusable (at least in its present form) to work with non-C languages, but not even the gcc developers advise this use. It is not reliable, it is not guaranteed to work with non-C code, and it is not guaranteed to be available even in future versions of gcc (there is not a lot of pre-ANSI C code around any more). -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonadhttp://sinenomine.net ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users

In this case, the problem is that bash remembers where it found a command, rather than looking again for it every single time; you need to use `hash -r` to make it forget that it once saw /opt/local/bin/g++ so it will go find out that /usr/bin/g++ is currently the only one on $PATH.

As a result we have /opt /sw and so on (I have no idea why the original pattern of /usr/ucb wasn't followed with /usr/mp, /usr/fink, and so on, but it wasn't), as well as a host of /usr is often read-only on BSD-derived systems (while the relationship is now rather distant and I think OS X can't actually get away with r/o /usr, it is nevertheless BSD-derived and userspace is synced somewhat regularly with FreeBSD-CURRENT). /usr/ucb made sense in the original BSD context since it was populated as part of an OS install and could be considered read only afterward, plus you still had the original ATT versions of utilities available when needed for portability; aftermarket stuff doesn't really belong there (if you're remounting /usr r/w constantly to add software, you're doing read-only wrong) /opt originated on Solaris, in part to support read-only (or shared; consider zones) /usr, but it seems like everyone else has come up with their own justification for it. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonadhttp://sinenomine.net ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users

On 10.7 that ecosystem is not C++11, and while you can build a C++11 ecosystem of your own it is not compatible with anything else. In particular it is not compatible with any C++ libraries provided by Apple as part of the base system or Xcode, and if you ever try to use an Apple-compatible C++ library with it you will get link errors or possibly crashes. After playing whack-a-mole for a while trying to get stuff to coexist, MacPorts has given up and acknowledged that the only thing that works reliably is to go with what is compatible with Apple libraries; that means only older llvm that uses pre-C++11 interfaces (provided by libstdc++ or an Apple-sourced compatible libc++) on pre-10.9 and only newer llvm that uses C++11 interfaces (provided by modern libc++ but not the libc++ shipped on older OS X) on 10.9.

The primary effective group ID is Apple saying must be the egid, not just in the group vector. (If your former life was long enough ago to be pre-SVR4, you might not know about group vectors; they're from BSD. In short, you have not only a primary group affiliation in your egid but an additional vector of groups of which you are a member; you can switch the egid between any of the groups in your group vector without requiring elevated permissions. Only root can set the group vector, just as only root can change to an arbitrary gid. Files are created with the primary egid, but file group access checking checks egid and the group vector.)

Not that anything of it changes the license restrictions. For what it's worth, there *are* rare people in the Linux community who won't use KDE because they do not trust license conflicts like this; KDE has a history of them. From a practical standpoint, though, it's effectively legal until challenged --- and nobody seems to be willing to challenge it, so it's ignored. I think this actually has legal implications, insofar as those kinds of restrictions have to be enforced or challenged for them to stand and ignoring a known violation can lead a court to conclude that the restriction is not actually in effect; but talk to an IP lawyer about the details. And *don't* try to rely on it, because it's only real if it stands up in court; it's the sword of Damocles until then. Note also that MacPorts has some constraints that others may not: if someone *does* challenge it, Apple might as a provider of hardware and services for MacPorts be caught by the blowback. As I understand it, the connection is a bit closer than that of people providing hardware or hosting for, say, Debian (although not a whole *lot* closer) --- but sometimes these do have legal implications. So we need to be somewhat more careful about license conflicts, just in case. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonadhttp://sinenomine.net ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users

There isn't one, really; third party stuff is not expected to understand MacPorts. The only real alternative to the symlink is finding all the stuff in the 3rd party app and using install_name_tool to repoint it to MacPorts' X11; this may be problematic. (Indeed, it's entirely possible that you will run into problems with e.g. iconv with either the symlink or install_name_tool.) Perhaps the best solution for such third party programs is to bite the bullet and install XQuartz.
