**Status of %%FreeBSD%% ports on %%PowerPC%% built using clang**

===== Overview =====

As of Q4 2019, powerpc64/13-CURRENT switched to using LLVM by default, with the ELFv2 API.  This is as opposed to ports on powerp64/12-STABLE which are still built using the (ancient) base system GCC 4.2.1.  See [[powerpc/ports/PortsOnGcc]] for the status of ports built using that compiler.

Older versions of 13-CURRENT are no longer supported.  If you still have an installation from before that time, you will need to rebuild or reinstall src.  All packages
need to be rebuilt.

Please contact [[/MarkLinimon|MarkLinimon]] if you want to help and/or to see the error log from the any of the failing ports.

===== Non-buildable ports =====

Again, these comments are particular to llvm-based systems.
