https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D254253 Bug ID: 254253 Summary: Update USE_GCC description in the Porters Handbook Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Documentation Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: gerald@FreeBSD.org In the context of PR 234495 USE_GCC was described in the Porters Handbook, including a note that it's a build *and* run-time dependency. *) Since then I have implemented USE_GCC=3Dyes:build, USE_GCC=3D10+:build, = and the like, which are worth mentioning. *) And recommending USE_GCC=3Dany as "typical" really is the opposite of wh= at I, and Mk/bsd.gcc.mk, have been recommending for years and years! USE_GCC=3Dany means that the port hardly ever is tested with base GCC, since on amd64 it is equivalent to USE_GCC=3Dyes and building with base GCC (if present) is only ever tested on architectures that only very few people hav= e. Can you please change this to presenting USE_GCC=3Dyes as the default and noting the ":build" option? I put effort into keeping Mk/bsd.gcc.mk up-to-date, and would be happy for you to lift the description there and bring things more in sync again. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
