BROKEN: "Cannot convert header files on -CURRENT!" DEPRECATED: Broken on all supported versions of FreeBSD This port expired on: 2007-03-10 IGNORE: is marked as broken: "Cannot convert header files on -CURRENT!"
Cyclone is a programming language based on C that is safe, meaning
that it rules out programs that have buffer overflows, dangling
pointers, format string attacks, and so on. High-level, type-safe
languages, such as Java, Scheme, or ML also provide safety, but
they don't give the same control over data representations and
memory management that C does (witness the fact that the run-time
systems for these languages are usually written in C.) Furthermore,
porting legacy C code to these languages or interfacing with legacy
C libraries is a difficult and error-prone process. The goal of
Cyclone is to give programmers the same low-level control and
performance of C without sacrificing safety, and to make it easy
to port or interface with legacy C code.

This port is scheduled for removal on Nov 7 2003 if it is still broken at
that time and no PRs have been submitted to fix it. If you are interested
in saving this port, please send your patches to the maintainer. If the
maintainer is unresponsive or the port has no maintainer, then please
submit them via send-pr.
Remove the StUdLyCaPs from maintainer name, 'cause some folks won't realize
mail's case insensitive and will try to type that. Sorry folks, purely a
cosmetic change here, nothing to see, move along, move along....
I am unable to test this as the port is broken. But I could find no
explaination in our cvs logs or the package website why this cannot be
compiled with GCC 3.1.
Use ${ECHO_CMD} instead of ${ECHO} where you mean the echo command; the ECHO
macro is set to "echo" by default, but it is set to "true" if make(1) is
invoked with the -s option while ECHO_CMD is always set to the echo command.
