Hi,

Of course the error message is wrong; swftools is just under the mistaken impression that every compiler one might use to compile it is gcc. In this case, we're using clang; clang's version number happens to be lower than gcc's, though it is just as (or more) capable than gcc.

Actually, that's the problem we had in another port, but with swftools, I see they just wrote their test wrong. Fixed in r88456.

Same as always: selfupdate, clean, and try again.

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port clean swftools
sudo port install swftools
