Thanks for the advice. I’m having  problems implementing it though. 

I tried setting CC like so:

build.args          CC="${configure.cpp} [get_canonical_archflags cc]"

But it still does not work. Here is the resulting compiler used:

/usr/bin/cpp -arch x86_64 -Wall -g -O2 -I/opt/X11/include -DPNG -DPNG15 -Wno-write-strings -Wno-overflow -c ascii.c

Also, I don’t see clang++ in the compilers listed in https://trac.macports.org/wiki/UsingTheRightCompiler <https://trac.macports.org/wiki/UsingTheRightCompiler>. 

So I hacked it by using:

build.args          CC="/usr/bin/clang++"

And it builds! But that does not seem to be the Macports way. How can I set the compiler with Macports?

Thoughts?


Cheers!
Frank
