levmar @2.6 new port

[lockhart@…]

Here is a port for the levmar C and C++ non-linear least squares fitting library. The port is based on code and patches in the levmar RPM by Eric Smith <eric@…>.

Patch for the goofy levmar Makefile.so to compile on Mac OS X. Works on Lion but does not seem to be version-specific.

I have placed this in devel/levmar/ in my local repository.

Thanks Tom.

Builds fine on Snow Leopard with Xcode 3.2.6. Not sure how to test functionality.

Complete patch file with addition of "@rpath" to the install_name of the library. This library now links successfully with a test application.

[lockhart@…]

Patches ready for production including using .dylib rather than .so for shared library extension.

OK, I've just reposted Portfile and patches to use .dylib rather than .so for the library extension. This port seems ready for production use; my applications compile and link successfully against an installation. A previous comment mentioned testing; this package does have the "lmdemo" program and I could add this to the installation if desired. I suppose we could also implement the test feature of the port. Let me know what else you might need. Thanks!

Nice work Tom. In post-destroot use the ​ln macro in place of "system ln".

Example:

$ port cat bzip2

[lockhart@…]

Complete Portfile now including a test section. Also installs lmdemo which is the test program.

Use ln macro in place of "system ln". Place version string between name and .dylib suffix.

Place version string between name and .dylib suffix.
