#47069: How to build webkit-gtk3-2.0 @2.0.4_4 on a 10.5.8 PPC ?
------------------------+--------------------------------
 Reporter:  braumann@…  |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  defect      |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal      |  Milestone:
Component:  ports       |    Version:  2.3.3
 Keywords:  ppc         |       Port:  webkit-gtk3-2.0
------------------------+--------------------------------
 As {{{webkit-gtk3-2.0 @2.0.4_4}}} is presently requiring {{{clang-3.3}}}
 for building, and since {{{clang-3.3}}} (and higher) in turn unfortunately
 is not able to produce PPC binary code I was wondering if {{{gcc-4.9}}} is
 able to work instead, since the Portfile says

 {{{
 # configure checks that we're clang 3.0, gcc 4.7, or better
 }}}

 So I was trying

 {{{
 $ sudo port install webkit-gtk3-2.0 configure.compiler=macports-gcc-4.9
 }}}


 However, even the the configuration fails stating that the compiler (i.e.
 {{{gcc-4.9}}}) is not working. The latter, however, of course is not true
 in general. Looking into the {{{config.log}}} I found the following
 indicating trouble with command line switches ({{{-V, -qversion, -fno-
 blocks}}}) being non-existent for {{{gcc-4.9}}}:

 {{{

 I need {{{webkit-gtk3-2.0}}} as one of the many components required for
 building {{{gedit @3.14.3}}}.
