The following reply was made to PR ports/70528; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Pete French <pete@twisted.org.uk> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, horance@freera.net, kris@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: Re: ports/70528: No libffi on amd64, either with native compiler or from ports Date: Mon, 08 Nov 2004 10:40:55 +0000 > I've reply to kris@ for this pr. The "libffi" is now part of gcc and no > longer maintained, therefor it will not support new platform like IA64, > AMD64, etc. For more detail information, please check Do you mean that the port is not maintained (which I know) or that the libffi which is part of gcc is not being maintained by the gcc people ? I though that having libffi as part of gcc meant that it was maintained along with gcc and would be installed on any system gcc was on. But I can't find a way to get it installed onto FreeBSD 5 at all. -pete.
