py25-ode, py26-ode: #error You must #define dSINGLE or dDOUBLE

[dersh@…]

I tried to install py26-ode. It first installs ode, which seems to build fine. But then it gives an error when it tries to build py26-ode. Here is the error:

py26-ode build log file

The first error in the log seems to be:

/opt/local/include/ode/common.h:111:2: error: #error You must #define dSINGLE or dDOUBLE

So py25-ode and py26-ode need to define that, and it needs to be defined to match what the ode port is doing. Since the ode port uses "--enable-double-precision", ports using ode need to define dDOUBLE.

Can this be done from the Port file? I see that the port is pretty simple, in that it just uses python setup. How can that variable be set so that it is passed into python, so that setup then compiles with the correct settings?

I got it to work, but making a change to the patch file. I don't have permission to directly make the change, but the attached file works for me, when I use it instead of the one supplied by macports. All it does is set the dDOUBLE, as you suggested. Can you apply this as an update to the port?

Thanks,
