Comment (by mojca@…):

 I still think that you might be able to use gcc4.8 if you install root5
 explicitly with gcc:
 {{{
 port install root5 configure.compiler=macports-gcc-4.8
 }}}
 and then install your software with the same compiler.

 If you want to do a favour to your users who install ROOT via MacPorts I
 would suggest you to make a port for your package as well.

 There are still many users out there who either install ROOT from source
 (or take the binaries from upstream). I suspect that if they use the same
 compiler as for compiling ROOT, that should work, so it's not that gcc
 would be a-priori impossible to use. But you can also ask ROOT developers
 for advice. Most users would simply take the default compiler, I guess.

 I agree that users would probably understood the variant name `gfortran48`
 better than `gcc48`. `gccXY' might be confused for using gcc also as the
 C(++) compiler.


 Can this ticket be closed or is there anything else to be solved?
