easytag-devel 2.1.6 lacks a dependency on libid3tag

[breitreifen@…]

A common port install for easytag-devel may look like this:

$ port install easytag-devel +ogg +mp4 +mp3

This didn't work for me. EasyTAG did not recognize any mp3 file. Dialog Help->About showed something like "MP3 ... disabled".

When debug is switched on, console output shows, that variant '+mp3' is recognized (at least it tries to build MP3 support), but configure doesn't find some header file:

---

checking for MP3 file support... checking id3tag.h usability... no
checking id3tag.h presence... no
checking for id3tag.h... no
checking for id3_frame_field in -lid3tag... no
no
***
*** Warning: MP3 file support disabled, libid3tag missing
***

---

Configure ends up with:

---

Please note "MP3 file support ........: yes".

As expected, EasyTAG runs fine now and is able to handle MP3-Files. Dialog Help->About shows "MP3 ... enabled".

From Portfile:

---

variant mp3 {		configure.args-delete	--disable-mp3
			depends_lib-append	port:id3lib
			}

---

I'm no special expert in MP3 tagging libs but it seems, id3lib is just for support of Version 2.3 for ID3-tags, while libid3tag provides basic tagging functionality that is required for EasyTAG.

I'm sorry, I've made a typo in the version number.

This ticket relates to "2.1.6" of course, not to "2.1.16", which eventually will never exist.

Milestone Port Bugs deleted

I have modified the portile to add id3lib dependency.

There was also a problem with mp4 file support, the source should be patched for mp4v2 support. So I have added patchfiles easytag-devel-mp4v2.patch instruction in the portfile too. Since the original patchfile was written for stable easytag (2.1), I had to slightly modify it so suit easytag-devel. I have uploaded the modified patchfile too. Since the patch file is not on the net, I set patch_sites to ${filespath}.

I hope this will help.

I am a newbie, so any correction is welcome

Thanks. Committed in r87428.

When the patch is in the files directory, there is no need to use patch_sites.

When submitting a change to an existing portfile, please supply a unified diff of the portfile, not a complete new portfile.
