1st, thanks for your reply. This question was/is stupidly worded :-).
What I was/am asking is whether the pkg-installed version of this
compiler is compiled for Graphite support OOTB. The answer appears to be
'no'. I just pkg-upgraded to the newest version & it is now called 5.3.1:
[29/33] Upgrading gcc5-devel from 5.2.1.s20151124 to 5.3.1.s20151208...
[29/33] Extracting gcc5-devel-5.3.1.s20151208: .......... done
However, when queried from the command line, it doesn't mention 'libisl'
(req'd for Graphite support) & when I try to compile code using Graphite
optimization (-floop-parallelize-all for me) it fails w/ an error
message saying Graphite support not available:
f951: sorry, unimplemented: Graphite loop optimizations cannot be used
(ISL is not available)(-fgraphite, -fgraphite-identity, -floop-block,
-floop-interchange, -floo
p-strip-mine, -floop-parallelize-all, -floop-unroll-and-jam, and
-ftree-loop-linear)
libisl is indeed available, pkg installed & ready to go. When I upgraded
ports (portsnap fetch update) this A.M., nothing got upgraded,
everything still dated 12/09 or earlier (when I last rebuilt it to turn
on Graphite support, which apparently worked AOK) except for the log
files from my compile. The port showed/shows Graphite enabled by default
(I think). So, another question is whether the pkg & port have different
build configurations ?
