#49033: mongo-cxx-driver @1.0.5 Add a cxx11 variant -------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: julien.pilet@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: mongo-cxx-driver | -------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by julien.pilet@…): Actually my patch does not work, and I do not know why. When I add --c++11=on to the list of build args, it works. With build.args-append and port install mongo-cxx-driver +cxx11, it does not. Is my syntax correct? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49033#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

#49033: mongo-cxx-driver @1.0.5 Add a cxx11 variant -------------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: julien.pilet@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: mongo-cxx-driver | -------------------------------+-------------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@…): The variant description is much too verbose. There is no reason to increase the port's revision. You syntax is correct, but in its present form the port is not designed to accommodate variants changing the build args. Note that the destroot.args get set to the build.args; that happens before variants are evaluated. If I understand you correctly, some software would require mongo-cxx- driver compiled without C++11 support, and some software would require mongo-cxx-driver compiled with C++11 support. Is that correct? If so, it might be better to have a new subport for mongo-cxx-driver–with–C++11, and ideally, the developers of mongo-cxx-driver would have their software install both, so that the consumer of the library can choose which one to use. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49033#comment:3> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
