Add xcb-util-xrm

[jenstroeger (Jens Troeger)]

I’m trying to build ​i3 from source (there is no MacPort support for it, but ticket:52596) and that requires the ​xcb-util-xrm library. Considering there are already several xcb-util-* ports, it would make sense to add this one as well.

First attempt. Not configuring yet.

Updated Portfile attached that gets past the libtool error but hits another one.

functional Portfile to compile xorg-xcb-util-xrm without any patches

[jens-maus (Jens Maus)]

I just worked on getting this i3 required library compiled with MacPorts myself. Please use the latest Profile to compile xorg-xcb-util-xrm out of the box without requiring any patches. Works here flawlessly.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Thanks. But please go back to using the GitHub portgroup like I did in my Portfile.2 attachment.

[jens-maus (Jens Maus)]

No, with GitHub it breaks like you have experienced because you need to run autoconf because no ready-to-use configure file is supplied in the GitHub repository. IMHO it should be perfectly sufficient to use the official tar.bz2 released by the author of xcb-util-xrm.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

You are missing the point of the GitHub portgroup. It will download official tar.bz2 releases. It just simplifies the process for you.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

If I get some spare time, I will convert it and verify that it works.

[joekiller (Joseph Lawson)]

I was unable to get the GitHub portgroup version to work. Like @jens-maus I had to go with the dist tar.xz

In 21e2952204e3d4144c85b0c73b04bd95b6177029/macports-ports (master):

xorg-xcb-util-xrm: New port

Closes: #54094

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Sorry for the long delay on this. I used the GitHub portgroup and found a missing dependency.
