jsoncpp @0.6.0-rc2 - Request to include port (portfile attached)

[felipou (Felipe Machado)]

I created a Portfile for the jsoncpp library (​http://jsoncpp.sourceforge.net/).

I think it's an interesting port to add.

Also, feedback would be much appreciated, it's my first Portfile and using a build system (scons) that I'm not used to.

Thanks, Felipe

Thanks; the portfile looks pretty good, except that because you are not a committer the maintainers line should be your full email address in our obfuscated host:user format.

Also for future reference please just attach the files themselves instead of putting them in an archive, so they can be viewed without downloading.

[felipou (Felipe Machado)]

Wow, that was fast :)

Thanks for the feedback! Should I change the file (add my email) and reattach it?

And the license field should just read MIT.

I already had the json-c port installed, which also installs a file /opt/local/include/json/json.h. So I'll mark the two port as conflicting with one another.

Committed the port with changes in r111881 and marked json-c conflicting in r111882.

I just checked the ubuntu package for this library, and it puts all the includes in a "jsoncpp" folder inside "/usr/include": ​http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/amd64/libjsoncpp-dev/filelist

Maybe the macports version should do the same, to improve portability?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

We could do that. If that's desired, please file a new ticket. However, if that's where the software should be installed, you'd think the developers would configure their build system to put it there.
