The newest version of g77 is at 0.5.23 with 0.5.24 in the pipeline. g77-0.5.23 works with gcc-2.8.1. Our port is based on g77-0.5.19.1 which is the last version to work with gcc-2.7.2.1. If it is not politically correct to remove lang/g77, then change the Makefile to point to egcs. -- Steve finger kargl@troutmask.apl.washington.edu http://troutmask.apl.washington.edu/~clesceri/kargl.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
