Portfile for qore-0.7.2

[nicholsman@…]

BTW: I am also the maintainer of this port listed in the portfile - I am the author of Qore, in the portfile I used an alias for this email address here (david_nichols@…) - would be happy to maintain this port in macports as well... thanks david

Portfile looks good, except for one small change: the master_sites line should just say "sourceforge"; MacPorts has a built-in list of SourceForge mirrors, and it knows how to construct the distfile name and append it to the URL.

The line "configure.cxxflags -I${prefix}/include" shouldn't be necessary either since MacPorts already puts -I${prefix}/include into the CPPFLAGS. However I'll reserve judgment on that until we actually get the software building, because at the moment, it doesn't for me, on Mac OS X 10.4.11 Intel:

It's not finding zlib or pcre in ${prefix}. The zlib and pcre ports are definitely installed and active.

I will fix the Portfile.

I have patched qore's configure in svn to look for dependent libraries/headers under --prefix first.

If the --prefix was another tree that qore's configure didn't expect, that would explain why the pcre check failed, so in that case the patch I just made to svn would fix that problem.

so please let me know how I can get you the updated code to test - shall I attach a new Portfile and new qore package to this ticket?

thanks david

Gotcha, you were searching various hardcoded paths specifically, including the standard MacPorts prefix /opt/local, but I have MacPorts installed in a weird prefix.

I added the fix from your svn and the port built just fine, so I committed it in r43613 (and reverted an oops in r43614). I changed it to a patch to configure, because a patch to configure.ac would mean we'd have to have the port run autoreconf, and if I can avoid it I prefer not to make the user install the autotools.

[nicholsman@…]

awesome, thanks. you did all the hard work then :-)

you are cool.

thanks david
