Re: gcc34 -- yikes!

Taking a closer look at the Octave port, I'm wondering what exactly Tcl is
doing here with regard to the configure.env-delete and
configure.env-appenddirectives? I noticed that Octave needed both g77
(and therefore gcc34) and
gfortran (therefore gcc40). It was my understanding that Octave only needed
one Fortran compiler (such as only gfortran), not both?

Regards,

T.

platform darwin 8 powerpc {
    depends_run-delete  port:gcc34
    depends_run-append  port:gcc40
    configure.env-delete    CC="gcc-dp-3.4"
    configure.env-delete    CXX="g++-dp-3.4"
    configure.env-delete    F77="g77-dp-3.4"

    configure.env-delete    FLIBS="-lg2c"

    configure.env-append    CC="gcc-dp-4.0"
    configure.env-append    CXX="g++-dp-4.0"
    configure.env-append    F77="gfortran-dp-4.0"
    configure.env-append    FLIBS="-lgfortran"

    configure.args-append   --with-blas="-framework Accelerate"
}
