Speaking of HPC … I hope all this GCC_REQD business is not relevant when a compiler is provided from the outside (as my self-built GCCs or Intel, Pgi compilers … I actually prodded Pgi folks to consider supplying some definitions so that pkgsrc can use their compiler). Is this the case? What happens when I want my native compiler to be used and it is older than GCC_REQD … will pkgsrc build a newer one itself or abort and inform me that my config will not work? In our installations, we want to ensure that our chosen (vendor, whatnot) compiler is being used. And regarding GCC 4.8 vs GCC 4.9 … yes, 4.8 being shipped with CentOS 7 is a good argument to try to support that as minimum version. I usually try to build a first set of pkgsrc with the system compiler, later optimised trees with newer GCC or one of the other compilers.
