#38321: gnuplot @4.6.1 Enhancement: add variant for old bitmap formats -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: predoehl@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Keywords: haspatch | Port: gnuplot -------------------------+-------------------------------- A default build of Gnuplot >= 4.6.0 lacks terminal support for PBM and other old-school bitmap formats. Quoting the release notes, it is "available if needed but is no longer configured in by default." There is a configure option that turns it on. I still happen to need PBM support, so I added a new variant to the corresponding port, calling it "bmpterm" -- maybe not the best name. I've tested it and it worked for me. It's a just tiny patch to the Portfile, so I'll just embed the whole patch here: {{{ --- Portfile.orig 2013-03-06 22:35:07.000000000 -0700 +++ Portfile 2013-03-07 10:20:26.000000000 -0700 @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ PortGroup xcodeversion 1.0 name gnuplot -version 4.6.1 +version 4.6.2 revision 1 categories math science # the license has some inconvenient requirements that we're not meeting @@ -111,6 +111,10 @@ configure.args-delete --without-cairo } +variant bmpterm description "Enable bitmap-output terminals" { + configure.args-append --with-bitmap-terminals +} + # One can in principle choose between wxWidgets and wxWidgets-devel, # but only 2.9 allows building 64-bit binaries. # If it is acceptable to depend on wxWidgets-devel only, }}} I'm new to MacPorts, so maybe I'm doing this wrong -- if so, I welcome your feedback.
