Macports application of gromacs on Powerbook G4 and Leopard

[Bonner, Carl E.]

All,

I have a Powerbook G4 running Leopard that I want to install and run the
gromacs application under Macports.   I am trying to set up gromacs on a G4
powerbook 1.25 GB RAM, 60 MB Drive,   I have upgraded to OS X 10.5.  I am
using the Darwinports installer. As instructed, I have installed XCode
tools, X11 SDK.  I got xmgrace to work, however, gwyddion, rasmol and
gromacs error on compilation.  For gromacs,  I get the following error:

 --->  Building gromacs with target all

The response I got back from the Gromacs help site was:
This may mean that you have to change some compiler flags, since Leopard
comes with a new version of gcc. Previously one had to use -faltive.
Maybe you can read the gcc manual (man gcc) and the rerun
make CFLAGS="-faltivec"
or similar new flags. But I cannot find the right options right now.

Has anyone had a similar experience? How did you address this.  I am a
novice to Macports.

Is this the case that I need to compile with altivec? If so, how do I change
the CFLAGS ?
