#50768: wxWidgets: create a new port to hold common files -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: mojca@… | Owner: mojca@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Keywords: | Port: wxWidgets-2.8 wxWidgets-3.0 | wxWidgets_select -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- I'm attaching a patch that fetches the following files from the latest release: {{{ share/aclocal/wxwin.m4 share/bakefile/presets/wx.bkl share/bakefile/presets/wx_presets.py share/bakefile/presets/wx_unix.bkl share/bakefile/presets/wx_win32.bkl share/bakefile/presets/wx_xrc.bkl }}} and installs them straight to `${prefix}`, avoiding the need for `port select` to handle those six files. I don't know what the last five are, but the first one: * certainly works with any wxWidgets version * it is often needed (some software packages need it for running `autoconf` if they don't ship a local copy) * causes problems with `autoconf` due to a bug in `port select` (#47755) The step that is still missing is some cleanup of leftovers in preactivation step. I would like to request some testing and feedback before committing the files. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50768> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
