qtiplot-0.9.7.6-update

[nicos_pavlov@…]

Proposing an update of qtiplot to latest version (0.9.7.8).

Some changes are also proposed along with the update. The main changes are:

• Python was deactivated, since it does not compile with present version of SIP in Macports (see ​#20293).
• As recommended in this version, qtiplot makes use of the slightly modified version of qwt shipped with the sources. Therefore, there is no more dependency on qwt52.
• The installation should not anymore violates /usr.

Hi,

since I rely on python scripting, deactivating it is not an option for me. I'd rather try to fix Qtiplot to build with the newer SIP. I've already submitted a patch for the build system of Qtiplot itself to make it easier to compile in general, see ​http://svn.berlios.de/viewvc/qtiplot?view=rev&revision=1332

So, if you want, go ahead and commit this update, since it's currently impossible to build Qtiplot at all, if I understand the situation in #20293 correctly. I however won't do it since I need python. I hope to be able to correct this issue for qtiplot > 0.9.7.8; no idea when the next version will be released though (but there are already some nice new features in the pipe like exporting graphics to .tex with PGF/TikZ ;-)).

I had tried to make a port with the proper (older) SIP, but I ran on other issues in compilation (that I did not really investigate). One good compromise, as proposed in the present version of the portfile, is to make Python a variant. This would make it possible to compile without the issues on SIP or py25-qt4, while keeping the ability of using Python if needed.

I attach a new port with the Python variant. Anyway, I don't have the commit rights, so I consider this as suggestions only. My purpose was to make it possible to compile again, and to remove the violations on /usr. The attached portfile deals with this, but does not address the python issue (the variant can not compile).

The new version of Qtiplot can be build with the up to date SIP. Port updated in r57915. I added a python25 variant to allow an alternative python26. This is mainly a dependency issue since the build system currently takes python from PATH. I'll try to fix that upstream. If you're interested in python2.6, feel free to commit an additional variant (conflicting python25)
