Thanks for packaging asymptote!

HMUG gives this list of dependencies for OSX 10.4 on ppc and x86 -- you may have seen this already, and/or asymptote may pull these in automatically; I didn't test, but hopefully some of this information is useful!

http://www.hmug.org/pub/MacOS_X/X/Applications/Publishing/asymptote/

My annotations in parentheses -- several packages should probably be made optional; I set g95 optional (won't build on 10.5.1) and also X11 (do we need it? It pulls in a lot of dependencies). I'd be happy if asymptote can generate eps files.

Dependencies:

bzip2 1.0.4 (ok)

fftw 3.1.2 (fftw-3 ok)

fltk 1.1.7 (ok)

freetype 2.3.5 (ok)

g95 20061019 (optional -- macports has 0.90)

gawk 3.1.5 (ok)

gettext 0.17 (ok)

ghostscript 8.60 (8.61)

ghostscript-fonts-std 8.11 (ok, in ghostscript)

gsl 1.9 (1.10)

ImageMagick 6.3.6-2 (6.3.7-1)

jasper 1.900.1 (1.701.0 -- may be worth updating)

jbigkit 1.6 (ok)

jpeg 6b (ok)

lcms 1.16 (ok)

libexif 0.6.16 (0.6.15)

libiconv 1.12 (ok)

libpng 1.2.23 (ok)

libwmf 0.2.8.4 (ok)

libxml2 2.6.30 (ok)

mpeg2vidcodec 1.2 (ok)

openexr 1.4.0 (ok)

pkg-config 0.22 (pkgconfig ok)

Python 2.5.1 (python25 ok)

readline 5.2 (ok)

sed 4.1.5 (gsed ok)

tetex 3.0 (ok)

texinfo 4.11 (ok)

X11 1.1.3 (xorg-libX11 ok -- optional?)

zlib 1.2.3 (ok)

I'm not familiar with the dependency trees, so I don't know the shortest list that will pull in all of these.

When I run the modified portfile, leaving out xorg-libX11, odcctools builds on 10.4.11, but fails on 10.5.1 (both macintel) (Ticket #13289 <https://svn.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13289>).

Moving g95 to optional (don't know when it's needed) allows some further progress on 10.5.1.

TeTeX fails to build on 10.5.1 -- Ticket #13491 <https://svn.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13491>.

asymptote builds on 10.4.11 and creates valid eps files! Very cool.

The revised portfile is likely overkill:
