Thanks. In the future, please Cc relevant port maintainers, fill in the Port field, and use WikiFormatting in your ticket descriptions.

:info:configure Checking for GCC AltiVec flags ... -faltivec
:info:configure
:info:configure Error: You need a compiler that supports {} in AltiVec vector declarations.
:info:configure
:info:configure Check "config.log" if you do not understand why it failed.

Please provide config.log

I cannot find the file config.log, it is not in the current directory or the directory containing main.log

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

It's in ${worksrcpath}

file mentioned in main.log

Okay, here it is

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

r105571 should fix it (or alternatively updating to trunk base).

I found the Portfile and applied the change by hand, then tried to install mplayer but it said I had no suitable compilers. I have Xcode 2.5 installed which I veleive is the latest that will run on OSX 10.4/ppc. So I tried: sudo port install mplayer configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2 ...and it started building OK but threw up another error, logfile attached as main2.log. Or should this be a new ticket?

from apple-gcc-4.2

Yes, a new ticket should be filed:
