tuntaposx error log

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

This is not a complete build log. Please clean the port and re-try the build. Attach the new main.log if it fails to build.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

True, but gcc-4.0 may just be too old to build this. If a clean build with gcc-4.0 doesn't work, try blacklisting gcc-4.0:

sudo port clean tuntaposx
sudo port install tuntaposx compiler.blacklist=gcc-4.0

[interflap@…]

Thanks for your replies.

Macports doesn't seem to see gcc4.2 installed in /usr (which I "enabled" by using gcc_select).

Building gcc4.2 via macports would require days here, and it wouldn't make any sense provided that I already have the binaries.

sudo port install tuntaposx compiler.blacklist=gcc-4.0

Replying to interflap@…:

Macports doesn't seem to see gcc4.2 installed in /usr (which I "enabled" by using gcc_select).

Ports do not care which compiler is selected via port select. If a one does, it is a bug that should be fixed.

Building gcc4.2 via macports would require days here, and it wouldn't make any sense provided that I already have the binaries.

We don’t support building with compilers that are not provided by Xcode or by ports.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

So what is the status of this bug report? Do we need to do anything?

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

I updated the port (see #47327), but I didn't do any testing under 10.5 (or 10.4).

The least we could do is blacklist a compiler, but that's tricky to do if we don't have any Tiger installation where we could test (or a Tiger user to do that for us).

[jduerstock (Jason Duerstock)]

Still bombs for me under Tiger.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

The port has been updated since this report. If this problem still exists, someone needs to attach a complete build log with the current version of the port.
