New port: Neovim (nvim)

[franck@…]

Portfile for Neovim (a modern refactor of Vim).

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Thanks. This should be modified to use the Github and cmake portgroups since it uses both.

[franck@…]

Portfile has been modified as recommended.

Fetching from master is not allowed. Disabling the checksum phase is not allowed. You need to fetch and checksum a specific version of the code that you have verified works correctly.

When using the cmake portgroup, you probably shouldn't use use_configure no; doing so defeats the purpose of using the cmake portgroup. You probably don't need to set build.args to CMAKE_EXTRA_FLAGS=\"-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=${prefix}\" because the cmake portgroup already sets configure.pre_args to -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${prefix}.

Don't set test.cmd to make test. The default value of test.cmd is make and the default value of test.target is test which should work fine.

Hi Ryan,

It is now pointing to a specific commit with the relevant checksums. The redundant test entries have been removed.

As it stands, Neovim cannot be built with the cmake port group as there are many pre-built (and alpha) dependencies.

I have started to look at the missing libs and will submit them separatly such as libuv, libunibilium, libtermkey and libtickit.

Feel free to modify it to your liking.

"Portfile.2" was uploaded by mistake -- only "Portfile" is of interest.

[franck@…]

Updated to the latest nightly build.

[franck@…]

Eager to get this into Macports -- Homebrew has had a brew for ages. Long and dormant incubation here does not benefit anyone...

I requested SVN access a while back and never heard anything?

This neovim Portfile tried to download lots of third-party projects and build them for static linking. I am against this kind of bundling, we should always create ports for dependencies.

I added the missing dependencies:

• libtermkey in r140814
• unibilium in r143038
• libvterm in r143039
• lua-MessagePack in r143040

The NeoVim port was committed in r143048, providing the latest stable release 0.1.0. A neovim-devel following the development would be possible as well, if there is interest.

Thanks for adding this port! Unfortunately it failed to build for me with this error:

Could be this? ​https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/2033#issuecomment-75364945 "This error happens when libtermkey fails to find unibilium and tries to link against libterminfo"
