some existing COMPILER lines with arch restrictions etc. In the usual
case this is now using "COMPILER = base-clang ports-gcc base-gcc" on
ports with c++ libraries in WANTLIB.
This is basically intended to be a noop on architectures using clang
as the system compiler, but help with other architectures where we
currently have many ports knocked out due to building with an unsuitable
compiler -
- some ports require c++11/newer so the GCC version in base that is used
on these archirtectures is too old.
- some ports have conflicts where an executable is built with one compiler
(e.g. gcc from base) but a library dependency is built with a different
one (e.g. gcc from ports), resulted in mixing incompatible libraries in the
same address space.
devel/gmp is intentionally skipped as it's on the path to building gcc -
the c++ library there is unused in ports (and not built by default upstream)
so intending to disable building gmpcxx in a future commit.
Relevant changes from the changelog:
* added a .asy backend for Asymptote files (
http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/ ). Thanks to John Bowman
* fixed three bugs (one memory leak, two other minor problems)
detected by the Coverity Prevent tool (http://www.coverity.com/)
* PostScript frontend: fixed a bug in tracing the bounding box of
raster images.
* fixed a bug in sub path handling - thanks to Soren Henriksen.
* fixed the handling of some special characters in the LaTeX2e
format driver.
