I can't comment on other ports, but on the particular case of Mesa, GCC 4.2.1 from base is unable to build Mesa because it's too old (the "invalid suffix on integer" error you got). A modern GCC will build Mesa properly. You could put "USE_GCC=yes" globally in the Makefile (ie. regardless of any .if block). But this isn't very user friendly: there may be a way to tell "I want to use GCC for all ports" in /etc/make.conf but I don't know it. In all cases, Mesa requires LLVM and Clang to build some parts of the Gallium drivers. For instance, the GLSL engine of the Radeon drivers is based on LLVM, no matter the compiler used to build the libraries. When the libOpenCL.so port will be ready for the Ports tree, it will depend on LLVM too. In both cases, LLVM is used here for its framework beyond the sole C/C++ compiler. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
