'single' variant for plplot

[drs@…]

Some packages (outside of macports, perhaps) depend upon the single precision version of plplot. It would be useful if a 'single' variant could be added to the plplot Portfile, e.g.:

bash$ tail Portfile 
                            -DTK_LIBRARY=${prefix}/lib/libtk.dylib
    configure.args-append   -DPLD_xcairo=OFF \
                            -DPLD_xwin=OFF \
                            -DPLD_tk=OFF \
                            -DENABLE_tk=OFF
}

variant single {
    configure.args-append   -DPL_DOUBLE=OFF
}
bash$ 

thanks, Darrell

Isn't it better to create a separate port i.e. plplot-single?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

This could now be implemented as a subport if desired.

[tenomoto (Takeshi Enomoto)]

Where can I find a way to write subport. I don't find any in guide, man portfile or PortfileRecipes.

[tenomoto (Takeshi Enomoto)]

I created plplot-single subport. It is independent from plplot so it can be installed separately and co-exist with plplot (double). Committed in r92763.
