Please remember to use WikiFormatting and to preview before submitting, to fill in the Port field, and to Cc that port's maintainer.

The version of wings in MacPorts is very old (0.99.04a); its last stable release is listed on the website as 1.4.1, from Feb. 2011. So maybe simply updating MacPorts to refer to a non-ancient version will fix this.

The port wings @0.99.04a fails to build for me, because there's checksum mismatch error. Since I found this ticket, I didn't want to open another. Nevertheless, this ticket has been open for 5 years.

Some notes if anyone feels inclined to update wings:

• A port for cl will be required - ​https://github.com/tonyrog/cl
• esdl no longer seems to be needed
• wings needs wxwidgets support in erlang, which is a non-default variant, which means depending on it is a pain

v2.2.4 has just been released ​http://www.wings3d.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2811 Can someone kindly update the port ?
