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

[barracuda156]

ok, just for the record, I changed sources so that macos-powerpc.org and macports.org are enabled, but not my overlay:

#file:///Users/macuser/local-overlay

# MacOS PowerPC ports:
rsync://macos-powerpc.org/macos-powerpc/PPCPorts/powerpc-ports.tar

# MacPorts upstream:
rsync://rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/ports.tar.gz [default]

and ran port sync (which took 24 mintues), and these are the rdeps:

macuser@ibookg32(tiger)$ port -v rdeps cctools
The following ports are dependencies of cctools @949.0.1_7+xtools:
  port:apple-gcc42
    port:ld64
      port:ld64-xtools
        path:libexec/darwin-xtools/bin/ld:darwin-xtools
          port:cmake-bootstrap
    port:cctools
    port:gcc_select

macuser@ibookg32(tiger)$ port -v rdeps apple-gcc42 -bootstrap
The following ports are dependencies of apple-gcc42 @5666.3_16:
  port:apple-gcc42
    port:ld64
      port:ld64-xtools
        path:libexec/darwin-xtools/bin/ld:darwin-xtools
          port:cmake-bootstrap
    port:cctools
    port:gcc_select

I'll switch back to using the overlay and resume the build.

These look fine, you could try building this way (I don’t know what is the minimum requirement for xtools).

What did trigger gcc14 in dependencies for apple-gcc42 earlier though? Looks like it is not showing up now with my ports enabled?

I am not sure. It is frustrating that I haven't been able to reproduce it. I gave up and started the build.
