asymptote builds on 10.4.11, but teTeX stops it on 10.5.1

4 Dec 2007

      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:

# $Id$

long_description Asymptote is a powerful descriptive \

                 Labels and equations are typeset with LaTeX, for \
                 high-quality PostScript output.
