[In my opinion.]
When I said "default compiler", I meant the default for the port (which was clang 3.1 from base on my system at the I sent that email), not the system compiler. That seems to be fixed now with the latest version of the libreoffice port, which pulls in lang/clang, which does seem to get the job done nicely. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
