Description
Building R on macOS 15 now gives: All compilers are either blacklisted or unavailable, and then fails. Time to switch to new clang and gcc?

Has 67144 been fixed by R upstream? Seems like 17+ was causing problems. But yeah both gcc13 and clang < 18 are broken on macOS 15 now, so that's not great.

Release of a broken OS was not something we were prepared for :)
Changing compilers for R will be a pain. That’s a lot of stuff to rebuild. I have no idea whether clang-18 gonna work. gcc14 is probably safe.

I thought compiler path is no longer baked in and we no longer follow the upstream guideline that says R base and packages should be built using the same compiler?
If this is the case how much stuff do we need to rebuild?

Replying to i0ntempest:

As of now it is, AFAIK. Unless someone changed that without me noticing.
If this is the case how much stuff do we need to rebuild?
I recall rebuilding was pretty unpopular last time and I rather avoid another week-long discussion, so let others decide. I can always fix this for myself at least.
- S. As a matter of fact, a number of ports have been broken earlier by skipping revbump when it was due. So I had to add these hacks whenever CI shown an error: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/622eca8499b7d482142030eb8d61c0ff01a011c8
Those are not numerous, given total number of R ports, but there may be more.
Correct, currently only gcc14 and clang 18 or 19 work on macOS 15. This *may* improve in the future, but also quite possibly will remain a restriction. So now would indeed be a good time to bump the versions R forces.
