#34520: dia crashes on start ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: luc_j_bourhis@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.1 Keywords: | Port: dia ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Comment(by macports@…): Replying to [comment:27 asnedden@…]:
Is there a way to utilize these patch file while building from Mac Ports? Or are these patch files solely for developer purposes or folks installing from source? Thanks!
If you build the dia port from source, then you can use the patches by downloading them all and then copying them into the port directory, eg, [https://trac.macports.org/ticket/34520#comment:14 as I described a few weeks back on this ticket]. (That description includes the command to force dia to be rebuilt from the patched source.) Beware that the "port selfupdate" rsync process will remove the patch changes from that directory, so you'll need to reapply the patches if you do "port selfupdate" and then want to build dia again. The easiest thing is to do the "port selfupdate" first, then do the patch/build process for dia, then stick with that working dia. (Presumably any later update to dia will be a version including the fix anyway.)
