Ticket #58493, comment 28
initial v1 8 8 As I have already stated, cctools *never* declares any dependency on any clang version, for reasons of doing so would create a circular dependency issue. What it does, and will continue to do in the future, is at runtime check to see what is installed at that time, and decide what to use based on the outcome of this check. The proposal is simply to instead of only looking for the specific clang version corresponding to the llvm version used to build the port, allow a range of 'good' clang versions. based on what I have seen, that list I think would be '[8,7,6,5]' in that order of preference. So use the most recent 5+ clang version that is available. 9 9 10 The devel clang port is an interesting question. My first though was to not include this in the list above (where would you put it ? first ? last ?) but perhaps it should be a special case, so if the user decides they want cctools installed with the devel llvm variant, then force this to be the (only) clang version considered, on the basis they are doing this for some specific non-standard reason....
