Main.log from build on Tiger with PowerPC 7447A

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

py37-numpy and py-numpy could be built with option configure.compiler=macports-gcc-6.

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

This package is not needed anymore by some other port (once needed by boost?). When I start to build it I still see

/usr/bin/gnutar: numpy-1.23.5/.coveragerc: implausibly old time stamp 1970-01-01 01:00:00

plus a few hundred similar lines. When will this vanish? I have lbzip2 installed, doesn't this work without such silly complaints?

CC='/opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-7' is now recorded in the build process' environment, so it should build. Before I see this report:

Running from numpy source directory.
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_nue.de.rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_python_py-numpy/py310-numpy/work/numpy-1.23.5/setup.py:86: DeprecationWarning: 

  `numpy.distutils` is deprecated since NumPy 1.23.0, as a result
  of the deprecation of `distutils` itself. It will be removed for
  Python >= 3.12. For older Python versions it will remain present.
  It is recommended to use `setuptools < 60.0` for those Python versions.
  For more details, see:
    https://numpy.org/devdocs/reference/distutils_status_migration.html 

py-numpy and py310-numpy built, because the Portfile was upgraded. So this ticket can be closed.
