#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 jens.traube@t-online.de): (1) I eliminated all cd commands and put in absolute path names, where it is required. (2) I set the current version of the port "TeXworks" to 20080720_105, which corresponds until now to the HEAD revision, but compiles and runs on my computer (PPC, OS 10.4.11). (3) I introduced a variant "HEAD". (4) The variable "svn.tag" is now set to a value, which is derived from the value of variable "version" (20080720_105 --> 105). This is done in the pre-fetch phase, if variant "HEAD" is NOT selected. (5) The value of version gets overwritten in the post-fetch phase, if variant "HEAD" is selected. Do you agree with these changes? I did not test the port under OS 10.5, but Jonathan Kew wrote: "The current version of TeXworks has been successfully built with Xcode (using gcc 4) on Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5". I myself have already installed Leopard on a different partition, but to date I prefer to use Tiger. You asked me, if I would like to become the maintainer of this port. I am not sure about that, I spent a lot of time with the ports "poppler" and "TeXworks", and "poppler" is still unresolved. Let me postpone my answer to your question until poppler is resolved. Finally, I would like to ask your opinion about my enhancements of port poppler (#16056). I suggested some rather unusual procedures to make possible a minimal installation of poppler. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16055#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
