Everything *not* on LLVM_DEFAULT train is likely incompatible e.g., breaking API changes or new compiler errors. Version checks may exist in vendor code but rarely exposed in ports due to extra maintainence cost for what is rarely tested non-default configuration. Try removing such dependencies to understand why.

LLVM != Clang. Clang != libclang. Many consumers need libraries or additional backends. If you want to avoid duplication remove crippled base Clang. https://wiki.freebsd.org/WhyDoIHaveToBuildLLVMWhenIAlreadyHaveClangInstalled _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
