Comment (by gchinn):

 What I'm experiencing now with macports reminds me of linux package
 managers during the late 1990's/early 2000's when they were in their
 infancy. Although, it is inevitable that ports for ppc architecture will
 no longer be supported in the very near future, still, I feel that this
 dual core 2.0Ghz, 16Gb, Quadro FX 4500 powerpc is worth the effort. I know
 that Iack experience with macports and programming, but I take this as an
 opportunity to learn as much as I can because this machine still could be
 used for graphics/cad.
 Thanks to previous tickets, I have been able to install all dependencies
 using different compilers. However, I read that using several compilers
 may cause runtime issues down the road. Before I ran into the problem with
 qhull, I had used the default compiler which I think is gcc4.0 to install
 all dependencies up to that point. With py27shiboken, I tried
 gcc{6,5,4.2.4.5}, but I did not keep the log files explaining those
 errors. Eventually, I tried the "-s" option with gcc48 and it installed
 with no errors.  Also py27-shiboken had a dependency of sparsehash, swig,
 swig-python, which were not installed before py27-shiboken. When I tried
 to install freecad, it failed to configure. This is the log file for
 freecad.
 I think I made a mistake with the compiler I used. I had gotten tired and
 forgot what I was doing. I shutdown after that.
 Even though pyside and pyside-tools installed, during the build there were
 a lot warnings of issues(more than 300). I was going to sent the log file
 for them, but there's no entry for them. I'm guessing that if a package
 installs, port cleans up the log file.
