Can't install gcc-14 universal due to gmp having an architecture mismatch

[programmingkidx]

When I try to install gcc-14 I see an error stating that it's dependency gmp has an architecture mismatch. I did try to install all architectures for gmp by using both the universal and native variants. I ran this command:

sudo port install gmp +universal +native

This did not fix the problem.

I am trying to install gcc-14 on Mac OS 10.5 for both i386 and x86_64 architectures. Gmp is reported to only have i386 and ppc architectures.

What is your universal_archs setting in macports.conf? If it's commented out it will use the default for your platform which will be i386 ppc.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Set universal_archs in macports.conf to i386 x86_64. Perhaps you've already done this.

Using something like port -vq installed | grep '+universal.* archs=.*ppc', discover which of your ports are installed with the universal variant but including the ppc architecture rather than the x86_64 architecture. Uninstall those ports, forcibly (using the -f flag) if necessary, then clean them and reinstall them so that they will build for i386 and x86_64 instead.

Than you Ryan, changing universal_archs solved my problem. Now I am thinking the universal variant feature should be changed to be a simple list of user specified architectures.
