mkvtoolnix builds with ruby19

[dmitry.gladkov@…]

mkvtoolnix successfully builds and works with 'ruby19' installed, not just 'ruby' package. There is should be an option to build mkvtoolnix with ruby19

P.S. I have symlinks from ruby19, irb19, erb19 and so on to ruby, irb, erb. Maybe it won't build otherwise

As far as I know the build system doesn't care what version of ruby you have, and neither do I. I just picked the most obvious port for the Portfile. If a dev knows an easy way to support both I'm all for it.

Dmitry, I do not have any ruby other than 'ruby' installed, but perhaps the following substitution would resolve this issue:

-depends_build       port:ruby
+depends_build       path:lib/libruby.dylib:ruby

This would depend, of course, on your specific ruby providing ${prefix}/lib/libruby.dylib.
If it works and Ruud (let me know if that's your surname and I'll be sure to address you as Mr. Ruud) approves, I can commit this change.

Cheers,
Ryan

Replying to rmstonecipher@…:

I thought that was changed last time. Anyway, fine with me. Ow, and Ruud is my first name; no mr required.

Ruud,
It looks like Dmitry was right; not a single file is provided by both ruby19 and ruby.
My idea for setting the dependency using path:path/to/file:port will not work.

Here's the state as near as I can figure it:

1. mkvtoolnix bundles drake which in turn has a build-time dependency on a ruby of version approximately 1.8.x .
2. build-time dependency is for executable 'ruby' to be found in the path.
3. MacOSX bundles /usr/bin/ruby thus mkvtoolnix builds without port:ruby and without port:ruby19
4. drake does not reference or try to use 'ruby1.9' from the path

ruby is bundled on both pertinent versions of MacOSX (10.7 and 10.6) thus build-time dependency for port:ruby or port:ruby19 +nosuffix is not required.

I recommend at this time to remove the build-time dependency for port:ruby. This solves (presumably) the ticket issue of not installing port:ruby unnecessarily.

(see mkvtoolnix-nukeruby.diff above)

The versions of /usr/bin/ruby supplied by Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion are all compatible with drake?

[Kona8lend@…]

Why was port:ruby added as a dependency in r71927 ? Let's just delete this dependency and if Tiger's ruby-1.8.2 is insufficient, a conditional dependency for 10.4 can easily be added.
