<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">I’ve several old iMacs running Snow Leopard, and on one of them I tried to install some extra packages, but that created quite some troubles with failed updates of some dependencies.<br class=""><br class="">So I decided to reinstall MacPorts on that iMac, to see if I could get in par with the others, but with up-to-date versions, but didn’t get too far with package installations.<br class=""><br class="">I also tried to follow the instructions found at <br class=""><br class=""><<a href="https://trac.macports.org/wiki/LibcxxOnOlderSystems" class="">https://trac.macports.org/wiki/LibcxxOnOlderSystems</a>><br class=""><br class="">but still not much success. Maybe that’s because Xcode installed on all the iMac is the non-free version 4.2. <br class=""><br class="">So I’ve finally decided to attempt a more radical approach:<br class=""><br class="">- uninstalled Xcode 4.2 as per Apple instructions<br class="">- uninstalled MacPorts as per MacPorts instructions<br class="">- installed Xcode 3.2.6<br class="">- installed MacPorts-2.5.4-10.6<br class=""><br class="">Before I try to proceed with package installations, what do you suggest me to try:<br class=""><br class="">1) go through the instructions for LibcxxOnOlderSystems<br class=""><br class="">or<br class=""><br class="">2) install packages with plain procedure?<br class=""><br class="">I’m asking because I’ve read in a post on this list that<br class=""><br class="">"With the advent of the cxx11 1.1 portgroup and the associated changes that allow clang to build using newer gcc's libstdc++, it is no longer mandatory to use LibcxxOnOlderSystems to be able to build software that uses C++11.”<br class=""><br class="">I’d highly prefer 2) as 1) implies always building from sources and I’ve spent a couple of days compiling stuff in my failed attempt with LibcxxOnOlderSystems.<br class=""><br class="">Thanks a lot for your dedication to keep MacPorts on Snow Leopard alive!<br class=""><br class="">Ciao<br class=""><br class="">Franco
