auto-multiple-choice/auto-multiple-choice-devel: fix build failures for older macOS releases, or set known_fail

[mascguy (Christopher Nielsen)]

Presently these two ports are failing to build for older macOS releases, causing a significant amount of wasted time on the buildbots. (Note that the port itself builds quickly. Instead, it's the installation of dependencies which takes the bulk of the time.)

However, this might be easily fixable, perhaps with an appropriate compiler blacklist.

Here's one example, for 10.7:

​https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.7_x86_64-builder/builds/72714/steps/install-port/logs/stdio

cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-std=c++11"cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-std=c++11"

But if the blacklist option doesn't work, we should set known_fail for older releases, and save precious buildbot time.

Have you tried compiler.cxx_standard 2011?

Replying to evanmiller:

Have you tried compiler.cxx_standard 2011?

That would certainly be preferable to blacklisting!

Compiler selection is broken for this port:

gcc -o 

so nothing will work until that is repaired.

It is only serendipity that it builds at all on any system.
