Description Gerald Pfeifer freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-01-18 23:18:20 UTC 
This is important since it blocks the upgrade of the default version
of GCC from GCC 4.8 to GCC 4.9.  If you cannot fix it, please change
to USE_GCC=4.8 for the time being.

Comment 2 Gabor Pali freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-01-19 18:50:37 UTC 
Feel free to add USE_GCC=4.8 to the port's Makefile, do not be blocked just because of this.  I can it do for you, although I have some other things in the queue so it may take a couple more days.  Whichever works for you.

Thanks Gabor, this is what I did for now.  Appreciate you having a 
closer look later on as time permits to solve this for real.
Comment 5 Gerald Pfeifer freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-04-30 10:13:02 UTC 
Hi Tobias, I noticed this one got stalled for a long while -- perhaps
giving a try with GCC 5 (via USE_GCC=yes) or GCC 6 (via USE_GCC=6+)
might be worthwhile?
Comment 6 Tobias Kortkamp freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-05-01 09:16:17 UTC 
(In reply to Gerald Pfeifer from comment #5)
It builds fine with USE_GCC=yes or USE_GCC=6+.  There were a couple of
QA issues detected by Poudriere testport about orphaned pkg-plist
items though.

I also added --buildwith=gcc since I was concerned that the build
would pick up ghc when it happens to be installed on the system.  I
don't if this is really necessary though.

On another note: nhc98 seems to be dead.  The last commit to their
development repository was in 2011, 6 years ago, it supports 32-bit
systems only, and no other port depends on it.  Is their still a point
to this port?

Bugzilla seems to be bugged at the moment and I can't attach the diff,
so I've uploaded it here:

Since there were no objections to the suggested patch, I'll commit it with maintainer timeout.
