Adam Weinberger <adamw@FreeBSD.org> has reassigned Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org>'s request for maintainer-feedback to vbox@FreeBSD.org: Bug 215369: devel/kBuild: Re-allow building with clang [patch] https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=215369 --- Description --- Created attachment 178042 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=178042&action=edit GCC option For very simple uses, GCC isn't required for kBuild. Under most circumstances it is, but when you only need virtualbox-ose-additions without X11 and you're on amd64/i386, GCC isn't necessary. It would be really nice not to have to build GCC and all its dependencies. The attached patch makes GCC optional, and enabled by default, with warnings that it should only be disabled under specific circumstances (with a pkg-help file to spell out what those circumstances are).home | help
