    Other Macports: there isn’t really a way to build ports from an earlier snapshot of its repository, is there?

    I expect this post to be a non-starter, but at the very least, it’s a place to perhaps discuss whether there may be workarounds. I’m not counting on it, though. Around three months ago, a port upgrading of outdated components on my 10.14.6 daily driver failed when several ports failed to update...

    Macports development for PowerPC (10.4, 10.5, 10.6): [unofficial] invitation to cooperate

    During the past year much has been done in Macports for PowerPC systems. We got gcc10-bootstrap (credit to @catap and @iains) compiler that builds with just Xcode tools and is able to then build the latest GCC – gcc12 12.2.0 confirmed on 10.5.8, 10.6 PPC (10A190) and 10.6.8 Rosetta (10.4.11 may...

    llvm and ld64 for ppc64 on Leopard

    I dunno if this info is gonna be of value for anyone, but just in case: if you want to build software on Leopard for ppc64 with Macports or otherwise, you will likely bump into a problem with llvm, which is required for ld64 (native Xcode one won't work for new stuff) and has to be of the same...

    gcc8 building 20 hrs and no end: at what point to give up?

    I am trying to build gcc8 via Macports on G5 Quad running 10.6 PPC. I have built gcc7 earlier (thanks to helpful suggestions of kencu here), and it took about 7 to 9 hrs from what I recall. But now I am at 20,5 hrs with no end seen. Wonder if the compilation is hopelessly stuck or I should wait...

    MacPorts

    There's not yet an installer, there's standard advice to build from source. I thought first of the Subversion approach and there's https://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.subversion but there's no svn with build 16A319 of the operating system, so I went to...
