new ports libqalculate and qalculate-gtk

[jjstickel@…]

Qalculate! is a multi-purpose desktop calculator. It is split into two parts, a library and a GUI. I provide here ports for both. If it is better to separate them into two separate tickets, let me know.

Don't know if anyone has looked at this ticket and tried to install qalculate-gtk yet. Unfortunately, I am getting a "bus error" with qalculate-gtk now after upgrading to Macports 1.7:

$ qalculate-gtk

(process:12374): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2458: initialization assertion failed, use g_type_init() prior to this function

(process:12374): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed

(process:12374): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed
Bus error

This may be related to the recent gtk/x11 library issues on Tiger (Ticket #17558), but gtk-demo and other gtk apps work fine for me now. Can anyone report if qalculate-gtk works for you?

I built libqalculate and qalculate-gtk using your portfiles this morning and qalculate-qtk works OK for me (no bus error) at first glance. Starts up and asks if you want to load currency exchange information from the internet and does that fine if you say yes. Then doing a few calculations seems to work fine.

Platform here is 10.4.11 ppc, XCode 2.5, using the standard Apple X11.app. I'm using latest MacPorts from svn trunk.

So there's a data point for you. Do you want to commit the ports as is or do some more testing first?

I suppose it is fine to commit the ports. I would love to get it working again on my machine, though! Here is what I get if I run gdb:

I have not used gdb before. What can I learn from this?

I tracked down a patch that fixed my "dbus error" (aka segfault?). I uploaded a new Portfile and patch file for qalculate-gtk. I managed to overwrite the libqalculate Portfile while uploading, and so I re-uploaded that as well (Portfile.3). Please test and commit. Thanks!

New port files and patches test ok here. Committed in r45273. I made a few minor changes (add mode line, fix Id tag line, rename patch files to match preferred patch-*.diff style). I hope this is OK. In addition, I note that livecheck fails for both of these ports so you might want to look at fixing that. Thanks for the new ports!
