Add libdbi port

[mta@…]

I wanted to build GnuCash with the database backend which requires libdbi. I couldn't find a port for this so I created one. Actually I created two, one for libdbi and one for its drivers. The libdbi-drivers port has a variant for each of the drivers that I thought might be useful. The only one I've tested much is mysql.

libdbi-drivers Portfile

libdbi added in r50096, thanks; two changes made to the port:

• removed :libdbi from master_sites since the port's name is the default
• used obfuscated form of maintainers

libdbi-drivers needs some changes first:

• don't hardcode /opt/local, use ${prefix} instead
• the database variants will need to have a dependency on the proper database, and they should be named for the version to use; for example, instead of postgresql call it postgresql83 and add the following to it:

  depends_lib-append   port:postgresql83
  

then do the same for the other variants.

• since building the port without any variants selected causes this to install nothing, which would causes issues and confusion, you should select a default if none is selected; I suggest sqlite3 since it's lightweight, so added the following:

  if {![variant_isset mysql5] && ![variant_isset postgresql83] && ![variant_isset sqlite] && ![variant_isset sqlite3]} {
     default_variants     +sqlite3
  }
  

Obviously add other variants you add if you want to also have support for other databases.

• There is no port for msql currently, so that should be removed

I submitted a new version of this port which I think fixed these problems, but it hasn't been committed yet. Are there further problems that I need to fix?

+sqlite3 looks good, but trying +postgresql83 appears to need to be told how to find the headers:

Similar issue with +mysql5:

libdbi Portfile which fixes endian bug on PPC machines

[mta@…]

libdbi-drivers Portfile that works for mysql and postgresql

[mta@…]

I just attached a new Portfile that I think fixes the libdbi-driver problems.

I also attached a new Portfile and associated patch file for libdbi since I discovered an endian bug in it today. I'm still running on a PPC machine and libdbi didn't return integer values correctly on that architecture.

Both of these new Portfiles have a +debug variant that builds the library with debug symbols. If you don't like that, you can remove it. I find it useful for finding problems like this one.

Corrected patch to fix endian problem in libdbi

[mta@…]

I just replaced the patch which fixes the endian problem in libdbi. The libdbi driver API supports 3 byte integers which are a rather unusual data type and my patch didn't handle them consistently with the rest of the code.

libdbi updated in r52205, with a bump in revision since it modifies what is installed.

libdbi-drivers added in r52206, thanks.

Reopening to track the MySQL dependency's need to be fixed (should use path: instead of port:).
