#35817: giflib 5 -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Keywords: | Port: giflib -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- giflib 5.0.0 was released in June 2012. Here's a patch to update the port. But it will not be committed. giflib 5 has a different API than giflib 4. I haven't yet found a single port in MacPorts that uses giflib that is compatible with giflib 5. I began to file bug reports with the various projects. Here's the result: * [https://trac.enlightenment.org/e/ticket/1072 evas]: the developers will not support giflib 5 * [https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303520 kdelibs4]: no response to bug report * [http://code.google.com/p/leptonica/issues/detail?id=63 leptonica]: the developers suggest we use giflib 4 for the foreseeable future * [https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5859 libgdiplus]: no response to bug report So MacPorts will stay on giflib 4 until further notice. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35817> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
