It would be good to depend on lilypond{,-devel}, too, right?
I don't think so. Most LilyPond users (at least the ones on the lilypond-user list) prefer to download LilyPond.app from the website (which is the advised installation method). I would prefer to let the user choose how to install LilyPond.
Why not instruct MacPorts on how to build Lilypond.app and use that? If you let the user choose, are you sure you're not gonna have headaches by users installing old lilypond versions, or just users who don't know they have to download lilypond.app or install it via MacPorts for Frescobaldi to work? This just happened to me: I was sure i had lilypond installed via macports, I fired up Frescobaldi and tried to build an example file. When I pressed Engrave nothing happened. I looked quickly around for any error message, but found none. So I labeled it as not working for me. After some time, I remember I hadn't installed lilypond after my Mavericks upgrade. So, some users will install frescobaldi without installing LilyPond, and this will lead to confusion. Maybe it's better to investigate why does the users prefer downloading lilypond rather than installing through macports.
(Frescobaldi will work with any LilyPond installation, and excluding the compilation of the source it will work also without a LilyPond installation.)
By the way, thanks for taking care of this ticket. As soon as a couple of changes will be committed to Frescobaldi, I'll update the Portfile (also for the stable version: some bug fixes will be back-ported).
Great, I'll wait for the patches. By the way, the application fails at runtime on my machine (MacBook 10.9) with this error: {{{ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7 /site-packages/frescobaldi_app/engrave/__init__.py", line 86, in engraveRunner self.engravePreview() File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7 /site-packages/frescobaldi_app/engrave/__init__.py", line 90, in engravePreview self.engrave(True) File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7 /site-packages/frescobaldi_app/engrave/__init__.py", line 127, in engrave self.runJob(command.defaultJob(doc, preview), doc) File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7 /site-packages/frescobaldi_app/engrave/__init__.py", line 148, in runJob jobmanager.manager(document).startJob(job) File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7 /site-packages/frescobaldi_app/jobmanager.py", line 62, in startJob job.start() File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7 /site-packages/frescobaldi_app/job.py", line 131, in start self._process.start(self.command[0], self.command[1:]) TypeError: arguments did not match any overloaded call: QProcess.start(QString, QStringList, QIODevice.OpenMode mode=QIODevice.ReadWrite): argument 1 has unexpected type 'bool' QProcess.start(QString, QIODevice.OpenMode mode=QIODevice.ReadWrite): argument 1 has unexpected type 'bool' }}} I don't know if it's related to the fact that I don't have LilyPond installed. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40139#comment:12> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
