gmsh port: a 1D, 2D, 3D mesh generator

[christophe.prudhomme@…]

here is the port for gmsh (​http://www.geuz.org/gmsh). No graphical interface for now as fltk is in a weird state.

As per the ticket guidelines, please don't set the Milestone field.

Have you considered using the cmake portgroup?

[christophe.prudhomme@…]

what do you mean ? gmsh uses indeed cmake. did I forget something (some depends ?) ?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Instead of manually specifying a build dependency on cmake and including a bunch of cmake configure.args, consider letting the cmake portgroup do it for you using "PortGroup cmake 1.0". See the many other existing ports that use the cmake portgroup for examples.

Additional comments:

• The version number appears in the distfiles definition; as per "port lint", consider using the ${version} variable instead
• cmake appears in depends_lib; this is unlikely to be necessary since cmake is used at build time only (and the cmake portgroup, as discussed above, will put cmake into depends_build for you)
• gcc45 appears in depends_lib; is this really required?
• texlive appears in depends_lib; texlive is a metaport so it would be better to depend on the specific texlive ports that gmsh needs (or does gmsh need very many texlive ports?)

Here is an updated version of the Portfile with the latest version of Gmsh. I think I have fixed all the issues you mention

there is a patch attached to fix the installation on MacOsX which is currently broken for MacPorts
