About new default configure-{c(pp|xx)?,ld}flags
by N_Ox 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

Hello, The new configure flags change made in 1.4 seems to cause problems with some ports (at least 2, maybe more). This change introduces things like default ldflags -L/opt/local/lib. The problem with these flags is that some ports write ENV flags before the configure script ones. On a port upgrade, this causes gcc to include the installed headers instead of the distfile ones, the same goes for ld and liking against libs. As this is useful only if the port depends on some other ports, why not put these defaults settings only if the port does depend on another one? -- Anthony Ramine, a lazy french student. nox(a)macports.org

I very much prefer gfortran over g95 for various reasons -- performance and political ones. Why don't you create variants for either fortran compiler, or use the one that is already installed?

I corrected your log message in the repository. I'm a little concerned that I was allowed to do this. Is every committer really allowed to change any other committer's log messages? At the very least, an email should be sent to the changes list when revision properties are altered. Unfortunately, I cannot find any indication that svnnotify will do this. Other notification scripts, like commit-email.pl, will. >> outdated or installed expands to no ports). prints the path to the >> workdir, if there is one.

Documentation on Portfiles
by Paul Bates [ES] 31 May '07

31 May '07

This has probably been asked before, but where can I find the documentation on authoring Portfiles? A quick search pulls up the legacy opendarwin.org site references but it either no longer is available or is down. I've got most of it down by looking at other Portfiles but I want a good understanding. Paul.

That's confusing.

prefix.mtree overwritten on selfupdate
by markd＠macports.org 30 May '07

30 May '07

Someone has filed a bug that prefix.mtree gets overwritten during selfupdate. http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/10917 I notice that the prefix.mtree at the top says: # Please see the file src/etc/mtree/README before making changes to this file. Where is this readme file? When would this file be modified? Is this a legitimate bug? Mark

When I tried to build gnome-panel, I got: crossroads-able> sudo port clean ---> Cleaning gnome-panel crossroads-able> sudo port -dv destroot DEBUG: Changing to port directory: /Users/gwright/src/macports-trunk/ dports/gnome/gnome-panel DEBUG: Requested variant powerpc is not provided by port gnome-panel.

Is there an easy fix for this or a known good version I should back up to? Thanks. Greg
