This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enig7BDA07D9443323A1686D5320 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable While working with an OpenCL port that is depending on LLVM 3.2, I feel very uncomfortable haveng to have devel/llvm-devel installed while the official release of LLVM is 3.2. The port devel/llvm is still the older 3.1. Is this going to be changed? I guess it must be synchronized with FreeBSD 9.X's LLVM/CLANG, isn't it (I'm on FreeBSD 10.0). Well, this brings up again another piece of question. While FreeBSD's base system already has LLVM/CLANG, it is missing some important LLVM pieces, like llvm-config and others. Having a crippled LLVM aboard AND the need having installed a port is a kind of none-sense. Why should I install port devel/llvm to have a working LLVM backend? The last time I brought up this issue, it was mentioned that the long compile time is one of the reasons. Can this be fixed by having an additional knob like "WITH_LLVM_EXTRAS"? Personally I feel much better having the complete LLVM in the base than having the very same (or with bad luck, a slightly different in the ports) LLVM from the ports. Since it depends on the preferences of search paths, software used to choose the port's version prior over the base system - that caused trouble for me in the past.
