I used ‘configure.compiler macports-gcc-11’ (it will not build with clang). But this seems too rigid. My initial goal was to set the latest version as default with the option of trying earlier versions of macports-gcc. I tried using compilers PortGroup but could not get that to work—I haven’t figured out the proper setup. Is it possible? I read that variants are no longer recommended for this.</div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div>Thanks,<br class=""><div class="">
