Port submission: flashdot

[macports@…]

I made a Portfile for flashdot, please consider to add it to the main ports repository.

FlashDot is intended for generating and presenting visual perceptual experiments that require a high temporal precision. It is controlled by a simple experiment building language and allows experiment generation with either a text or a graphical editor.

Portfile was successfully compiled and tested on OS X 10.5.6.

This is one of my three first submissions I do today. I hope I did everything right.

Needs ocamlsdl, ticket #18994.

Should this also have a dependency on the xml-light port? Without it I see the error

ocamlc  str.cma xml.mli
File "fls.mli", line 3, characters 39-46:
Error: Unbound type constructor Xml.xml
make[1]: *** [fls.cmi] Error 2

Installing it, it builds fine.

For the future MacPorts 1.8 version (and those of us running it from trunk now) svn.method needs to be set since this uses 'svn info' to figure out versions. However, since that isn't available on MacPorts 1.7 you need to put it in an if:

# Use checkout as the version calculation makes certain assumptions
# When 1.8 is released, svn.method can be set without the if{}
if {[info exists svn.method]} {
   svn.method          checkout
}

After this flashdot was able to properly figure out the version.

If these changes are okay I'll commit with them added.

The xml-light issue turned out to be caused by parallel building, so disabling that gets it to bulid...flashdot added in r49068 with the addition of the svn.method section and parallel build disabled, thanks.
