I'm trying to compile some KDE4 packages from macports and am

So, I want to try this, but cannot figure out how I am suppose to
tell macports to use the newer gcc version (I have the latest Xcode
instead, so have both versions available).
Can someone point me to some instructions on how to change the gcc
version that is used ?
You would add the line "configure.compiler gcc-4.2" to the kdelibs4
portfile.
Thanks. Eventually I decoded the MacPorts documentation and figured
out I could also do it from the command line with
$ sudo port install <portname> configure.compiler=gcc-4.2
gcc-4.2 is only provided in Xcode 3 and up, so this would only work
on Leopard and up.
Yeah. One of the places I found the suggestion to use gcc 4.2 was the
kde-mac mailing list, and there this very point is also discussed.

only a couple weeks old.
Since you're likely not the only one experiencing whatever issue it
is, you should file an issue in our issue tracker explaining what
the problem is and suggesting this fix, if it works for you. Then
the maintainer of the port can evaluate it and hopefully include it
in the portfile so you and everyone else can benefit from it.
OK, I'm currently rebuilding with gcc 4.2 so I'll see what happens.
I'll post a ticket when that is done.
