gwyddion 2.9 fails to build

[swebster@…]

Trying to upgrade the gwyddion port to version 2.9_0 fails on Leopard 10.5.1.

I fixed the problem by adding the following line (all one line) to the end of the Portfile:

configure.ldflags -Wl,-dylib_file,/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib:/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib

I don't really know what this does, just found it on some fink page.

I'll try to attach a copy of the build output... but the build error ends with:

output of upgrade command

By the way, I also tried uninstalling gwyddion and reinstalling it instead of upgrading, but that didn't make a difference.

I can't check this, but it does not seem to be Gwyddion-specific, more packages using X11 apparently fail to build on Leopard. People solve it by tweaking linker flags, see for instance this Fink thread:

Portfile which excludes gl extensions for leopard

Since this is a bug for the gtkglext (used for 3D view in gwyddion) I'll removed gtkglext from the dependencies on leopard - so there will be no 3D view on leopard until #13517 (#13624) is fixed
