$ port info blender
Error: Port blender not found

I happen to be on Tiger PPC at this moment, if that is relevant to this error in any way.

Yes, being on Tiger PPC is relevant. The port requires MacPorts clang, and determines llvm_version from that. It enforces that requirement by blacklisting clang. On Tiger PPC, that would still leave gcc in the fallback list. The port should blacklist *gcc* as well.

Ok, I'll put in a PR to add it to the blacklist.

I can fix it on the Tiger system if you like. If you blacklist gcc I'm not sure where that will wind up on Tiger PPC -- right back to gcc as "all compilers are blacklisted" probably.

Sure, go ahead... since it seems like you have access to a Tiger PPC VM (per the VM discussion that's happening on the dev mailing list right now), you would have a way to test it, whereas I don't have access to a Tiger PPC machine.

right back to gcc as "all compilers are blacklisted" probably.

That makes it sound like macports-clang isn't available on PPC. Is that the case?

Right, macports-clang is not widely available on PPC. I have it, but it's not for public consumption.

All my PPC machines (I have 6 or 7 here, at least) are real hardware, BTW -- the VMs don't work well enough to use.

Got it. Sounds like a custom-compile sort of situation.

Wow, I'm slightly amazed that hardware that old has held up over the years. I'll leave the fix in your capable hands, then. :)
