#16055: TeXworks -- TeX previewer for Mac OS X -- uses the Qt4 GUI framework --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: jens.traube@t-online.de | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Submissions Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: tex, latex, editor, qt4 --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by rhwood@macports.org): This port looks good. You might want to replace the build dependency on port:subversion with bin:svn:subversion since Leopard (or its XCode--I'm not sure which) includes subversion, and our subversion is a hefty build that may not be required. This should be in line with MacPorts recommended practices since svn is not linked against, but is only used to download the source code. TeXworks does not look in /opt/local/bin by default. Can this be fixed when building it in MacPorts? Should this not install a tex version if one is not already installed by the user? Instead of puts for output use ui_msg, ui_error, ui_debug, or ui_info, since clients of the MacPorts API will not always see what is directly sent to STDOUT. You basically want to be able to ensure that the port "just works" for the user. This is especially true of apps that wind up in /Applications/MacPorts -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16055#comment:10> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
