>Description:
The Gnofract4D port contains a Python script which checks the environment it's being used on and if it is not windows it'll set the self.compiler-name to 'gcc', which in return ensures that this program will no longer run on FreeBSD 10 and up (which don't contain 'gcc' at all anymore) nor on earlier versions where the admin has opted to replace GCC with Clang.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install graphics/gnofract4d (either using make or portmaster) then try to run it from the commandline (some output omitted):
fbsd10:/home/peter $ gnofract4d
(process:24302): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
A fatal error occurred:
Error reported by C compiler:gcc: not found

fract4d.fracttypes.TranslationError: Error reported by C compiler:gcc: not found
>Fix:
If the port has already been installed then edit this file:
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fract4d/fc.py
Find the line 150: "self.compiler_name = "gcc"" and remove the 'g'.
To fix the port itself simply create a new directory "files" in the port directory (so /usr/ports/graphics/gnofract4d/files) and place the attached file into it. The patch will apply automatically and all shall be right with the world again ;-)
