Hello I am currently thinking about making a port for Visual Boy Advanced (as the name implies, it's a GBA emulator). The problem is, according to the documentation, it will ONLY work properly with GCC 3.2 or newer. Which route shall I go ? Shall I force a specific version of GCC on the user or shall I make this port BROKEN for all FreeBSD versions prior to 5.0 ? >From my understanding, mixing multiple GCCs (which are binary incompatible) on 1 system is a bad idea. Also doing this GCC trickery will make my life even harder, as I don't have a 4.x box to test this on. Are 5.0-only ports frown upon or are they generally OK ? Sincerely, -- Dan Naumov <dan.naumov [at] ofw.fi>
