Hi,
I've been chatting with the ICC ex-users and they seem to be ok with the
removal of the ICC bits from share/mk and other places.
The reason is that it doesn't work and no one has volunteered to fix it for
many years. This seems to indicate that the interest in ICC is low.
If there's anyone against this, speak now or forever be silent. :-)
Later versions of icc are more gcc compliant aren't they? If so,
wouldn't this also be a non-issue to remove the bits, or are there
still some incompatibilities between gcc and icc that are worth
noting?
I really don't know how compatible is the latest icc because no one ever
updated the ports version. This is actually a hint that no one really uses this
anymore.
IIRC, apart from the low interest, the problem was that because of ICC's
license using ICC to test this mk stuff requires a commercial license
because somehow it is considered a derivative work. It has also
prevented us from providing better support. In 2006, I wanted to do some
progress as part of my SoC project because that time there was more
interest. Alexander (CC'd) may comment on this. I think he has a license
for FreeBSD work but he is not allowed to give it out to a third party.
