solfege-3.14.0 Submitting portfile for new port

Reported by: allencmcbride@… Owned by: raimue (Rainer Müller)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.7.0
Keywords: solfege new port Cc:
Port: solfege

Description

This is my first time submitting a port. Suggestions welcome. As I've discussed on macports-users, there are a few wrinkles when trying "port -t destroot", but it doesn't sound like they're serious.

At the start I get the message No module named _solfege_c_midi. I probably just need to configure an external player?

Committed in r48583.

Thanks very much for committing the portfile! I don't know what this error message means; I don't think I've seen it. But I will try to figure it out.

Rainer, you're right. One needs to point Solfege to an external MIDI player. I've been making a dumb mistake this whole time: I've had my ~/.solfegerc file hanging around from a long time ago, and it's been telling Solfege where to find my MIDI player, even on first run after a fresh installation. I had assumed it was finding and using Apple's built-in MIDI player, but I should have known better.

Now Apple does not come with a command-line MIDI player, am I right? If I'm right about that, then I think I should just include qtplay as a runtime dependency in my portfile. And hopefully I'll find out soon how to tell Solfege during installation where to find qtplay. Otherwise, a user will have to be told to go into Solfege preferences and do two things: 1) Point to qtplay under "External Programs", and select "Use external MIDI player" under "Sound Setup". Obviously not the smoothest user experience.

I'm sorry about all this; clearly I still have a lot to learn. If you think it best, feel free to un-commit this thing until I have this problem worked out.
