Now I’m truly confused. Many people have confirmed on the internet that Apple has moved toward ditching libcc_dynamic, and yet the symlink described in a previous post is re-created upon running ‘repair permissions’ via the Disk Utility application bundled with Mac OS X. I’m not sure what to think here. Perhaps this was unintentional, and Disk Utility was not updated to reflect dropping libcc_dynamic? This certainly presents issues on the Gentoo for Mac OS X side of things: support -lcc_dynamic and expect Tiger users to have a symlink installed, or drop -lcc_dynamic altogether and make changes where appropriate to use -lgcc directly? I personally think that the latter option is the best way to go, especially given that Apple has already shown interest in dropping even symlink support for libcc_dynamic. I’ll have to consult with the rest of the team (Kito, Lina). Time will tell.
Apple has been informed.
any solution, yet?
Sorry it took so long to get back to you, Tobias (finals suck).
It looks like we’ll be putting the solution in baselayout, once we have one. Until then, we expect our users to run Disk Utility to shape things up before installing Gentoo for Mac OS X on their Tiger.
