What does that have to do with clang import? I didn't say it did. I said "I'd like to see ..." I have no power to mandate anything. :) The connection in MY mind is that once we start down the road of making the idea of "compiler/toolchain" more flexible, it's probably a good idea to also start down the road of "ports compiler" and "base compiler." I'm not sure I can invest the time to work on the "clang for the base" side of it, but I am pretty sure I can work on the "compiler for ports" side. Not to mention that I'd like to see if the new compiler makes any difference on my newish CPU. I'd also like to see this issue get a little more attention since it's something that all FreeBSD users can participate in, not just those running -current. > but there's already a tutorial about changing ports compiler to newer > version of gcc[1]. > > So what am I missing here? > > [1] > http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/custom-gcc/configuring-ports-gcc.html That's just what I was looking for, thanks! -- ... and that's just a little bit of history repeating. -- Propellerheads Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/Received on Fri Jun 04 2010 - 22:38:46 UTC
