Description

Is gcc42 port: dependency really needed in lua-numlua and is there a reason for not having a gcc43 variant too?

Summary: GCC 4.2 dependencylua-numlua: why depend on gcc43?

lua-numlua now depends on gcc43 as of r57800. The reason it depends on a gcc port at all is because it needs a fortran compiler; Apple doesn't provide one. Variants for different gcc versions could be added; this would be a good idea, even. But the port's current strategy of hardcoding the compiler name in the patchfile would then have to be changed.
