I saw the same in a dozen or so ports. It seems, at first glance, that when *gcc-3.* and *gcc-4.* are blacklisted, the fallback on PowerPC does not go to gcc-6 or gcc-7, but through to the clang chain. compiler.fallback-prepend macports-gcc-6 macports-gcc-7 in the Portfiles seems to fix it *

Hi Chris, This is in regards to a discussion on what to do with py-tensorflow. https://trac.macports.org/ticket/59179#comment:4 Specifically, the language "I will not compromise on this.” and "Ok, you win.” doesn’t work for me in an open-source community. Regarding “you win”, this isn’t

To no great surprise, as I didn’t bother to try it before now, the move from the cxx11 PG to the new compiler spec system seems to be having some issues on my older systems. MacPorts is calling in libomp and clang on PPC, which of course are not (presently at least) available. So you may see tic

that is extremely sensible and what many might expect, so we should consider adding it like that as a synonym for the compiler year, but that does also set that flag. I also said as much when this first came about. Many years ago I read that Apple (Steve) sat in a room watching people try to us
