update vips and nip2 ports

[jcupitt (John Cupitt)]

I noticed the port for vips is still version 7.10. There's a much nicer 7.12 now, could this be updated? Also, the vips gui, nip2, seems to have vanished, could this be added too?

The vips port:

vips and nip2 in freebsd, in case these ports are helpful:

​http://www.freshports.org/graphics/vips ​http://www.freshports.org/graphics/nip2

I could try updating the portfile myself if that would be helpful (though I've never tried writing one before).

I've never used vips, but it looks interesting. The current version is 7.13.1. I'll see if I can get it built and updated.

[cssdev]

I ran into trouble trying to build with libxml:

checking for REQUIRED... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.6 gmodule-2.0 >= 2.4 libxml-2.0 gobject-2.0) were not met:

No package 'libxml-2.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables REQUIRED_CFLAGS
and REQUIRED_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I definitely installed it:

$ port installed libxml
The following ports are currently installed:
  libxml @1.8.17_0 (active)

[cssdev]

oops, I needed add a dependency on libxml2 not libxml

Hi css@…, thanks for working on this, we really appreciate it.

7.13.1 is the most recent development snapshot. It'd be better to package current stable, which is 7.12.5. It should be an easy change: I don't think any deps have altered since 7.12 branched.

The freshports link in the original ticket has a list of the deps for 7.12.5.

[cssdev]

It looks like 7.12.5 compiles fine too. Could you verify that this new portfile suits your needs? The second request of nip2 should be handled in a separate ticket.

patch to upgrade vips to 7.12.5

Replying to css@macports.org:

Could you verify that this new portfile suits your needs?

Looks good, thank you css.

The second request of nip2 should be handled in a separate ticket.

I've opened a new ticket #13318, hope I got the tags right this time.

[cssdev]

I committed the vips update in r31172. Thanks for the feedback!
