If you're happy to let portage overwrite Apple-provided files (note: |
| 11 |
dependencies may cause more files to be overwritten than you |
| 12 |
anticipated) then you can do this by changing your profile to the |
| 13 |
"Progressive" profile. This is easily done by setting the symlink / |
| 14 |
etc/make.profile point to /usr/portage/profiles/default-darwin/macos/ |
| 15 |
progressive. |

I haven't tried this myself, but that doesn't sound like a normal |
| 27 |
compiler-version problem. It sounds more like something was left out |
| 28 |
of configure in the run with version 4.0. |

My current understanding is that the only active developer working on |
| 36 |
the progressive profile is Kito. If you're interested in testing for |
| 37 |
progressive, we would certainly appreciate the help, since those of |
| 38 |
us testing for the normal profiles can't test for both. Make sure |
| 39 |
that when you test packages you also test their dependencies, and all |
| 40 |
combinations of USE flags. If you're reasonable sure something works |
| 41 |
(note: works != compiles), file a bug for the Progressive profile on |
| 42 |
Bugzilla (bugs.gentoo.org). |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Also, if you have any questions, feel free to send me (or anybody, |
| 45 |
although I can't speak for others) an e-mail, or pop into the IRC |
| 46 |
channel #gentoo-osx on freenode. |
