I meant all the talk (most of which is way above my head) about gcc backend being far from ideal. llvm/clang are often mentioned as long term alternatives. I'm just repeating what I've picked up from various mailing lists. > You left out the dependency that it uses gcc-4.0.3 as it's > base gcc. yes, forgot about this.. > Install the g95 port and be done with it. the problem is that gfortran44 is the default (ports/Mk/bsd.gcc.mk). So if it doesn't build on my system, I can't get lots of other ports. I'm not sure changing it for g95 is a good idea. > PS: Guess who is an active gfortran developer? I see.. as I said, I apologise if I'm talking nosense. Thanks for your time anyway.
