The port appears to be i386/x86_64 only.

I can compile tbb on Mac OS X 10.5 for ppc and ppc64 with the attached patches.

Thank you for the patches. Most likely they work, but for some strange reason after applying them, macports is spitting out stuff about using gcc 4.2, while originally it was saying it was using gcc 4.0. I do have both installed.

This seems to be the problem :

cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-arch"

I think macports is using a GNU project gcc (that I installed with macports), not Apple's gcc, which is why the "arch" flag is not recognized. I tried using gcc_select, but it only lets me select between various GNU gcc versions, never Apple's gcc. This probably has nothing to do with the port itself, but any pointers on how to fix this would help greatly. Thanks.

PS sorry about the unnecessary cc.

Also, I noticed it has wrongly selected ppc64 :

I modified the attached patches so that the port always uses /usr/bin/gcc and /usr/bin/g++. I hope these patches fix your problems.

It really needs to be using the values of the variables ${configure.cc} and ${configure.cxx}.

Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: can't read "arch_flag": no such variable

This was fixed in r71975.

This was fixed in r71980.

[cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)]

There's a proposal to add a +universal variant to tbb in #37320, but I'm assuming that this would have to be fixed first before that can go through, right?

Unify powerpc keywords.

[barracuda156]

A slight modification that makes TBB build on PPC

[barracuda156]

After blacklisting clang in Portfile and making above change in the patch, TBB has built through completion. (I do not guarantee it works at the moment.)

On Tiger tbb fails:

And the patch above does not help.

Tiger still fails though.
