--- Comment #5 from russo@bogodyn.org ---
Attempts to make firefox compile with gcc5 without globally setting
DEFAULT_VERSIONS=3D gcc=3D5 in /etc/make.conf failed.  This was my preferred
course, to avoid having to rebuild with gcc5 a lot of libraries that are us=
ed
in the course of software development on this system.=20=20

I tried putting USE_GCC=3D4.9+ in a /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf rule, but
portupgrade failed --- the port continued to use gcc48.=20=20
  MAKE_ENV =3D {
    'firefox-*' =3D> 'USE_GCC=3D4.9+',
  }


I tried building with "USE_GCC=3D4.9+" directly on a make command line in
/usr/ports/www/firefox, but got an error message about string comparison er=
ror
on line 130 of bsd.gcc.mk, which is supposed to be doing a numeric comparis=
on.=20
Same happened if I just used USE_GCC=3D5.=20

I also tried just editing the Makefile in /usr/ports/www/firefox to add
USE_GCC=3D5, and it gave the same error message (not surprisingly).

The only thing that worked was DEFAULT_VERSIONS=3D gcc=3D5 in /etc/make.con=
f (or
commenting out FAVORITE_COMPILER=3Dgcc), as you recommend in comment 2.

Since I can defer having to upgrade the various libraries I need for
development for a while, and then upgrade all of them to build with gcc 5 w=
hen
one of them forces me to upgrade (or otherwise play games with /etc/make.co=
nf),
I can live with this for now.
