XMMS2 Portfile

[tru@…]

I have made a XMMS2 port. This is the first port I ever make, so I welcome all feedback.

Here we go:

        system "./waf configure --conf-prefix=${prefix} --prefix=${prefix}"
}

        cd ${worksrcpath}
        system "./waf build"
}

destroot {
        cd ${worksrcpath}
        system "./waf install --destdir=${destroot}"
}

Some comments:

• $version should really be set to 0.4, as it doesn't make any sense to have some joke wandering alone in the version string.
• You don't need to explicitely set $revision to 0.
• Instead of writing custom configure/build/destroot stages, you should rather do

  configure.cmd       ./waf
  configure.args      --conf-prefix=${prefix}
  
  build.cmd           ./waf
  
  destroot.cmd        ./waf
  destroot.destdir    --destdir=${destroot}

Sorry, I meant:

configure.cmd   ./waf configure
build.cmd       ./waf build
destroot.cmd    ./waf install

Replying to nox@macports.org:

It's actually not a joke. DR = Developer Release, and the names after are in sequential order. Next version will be named 0.4DrL ... something.

• You don't need to explicitely set $revision to 0.
• Instead of writing custom configure/build/destroot stages, you should rather do

  configure.cmd       ./waf
  configure.args      --conf-prefix=${prefix}
  
  build.cmd           ./waf
  
  destroot.cmd        ./waf
  destroot.destdir    --destdir=${destroot}    
  

Thanks for your suggestions, here is the updated portfile:

Is the python24 build dependency mandatory, or does it only need a python interpreter, whatever the version?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I finally added an xmms2 port in r40167. I based it on the one submitted by tru in comment 4 but made lots of changes, including upping the version from 0.4 to 0.5, adding a mess of dependencies on things with which xmms2 linked on my system, and explicitly naming the plugins and optionals we want enabled (to prevent it from linking with other ports the user might happen to have installed). I also upped the python dependency from 2.4 to 2.5 since that's the latest stable version. xmms2 does not build with python30.
