blt is missing includes and fails to compile with clang

[fsalgado@…]

blt doesn’t install due to compilation errors.

log file resulting from the install action.

I see you're using clang. Does it help if you use a different compiler?

it’s the automatic installation from ports. is there a way to “choose” another complier on this automated set-up?

thanks

Right. And in this case, MacPorts' choice may not have been the best one for this port. Once you figure out if one of the other compilers works, we can fix the port to automatically choose that instead.

Instructions are in the problem hotlist.

Has duplicate #32935.

Did using a different compiler help? Let us know so we can fix the port.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Has duplicate #33146 which says apple-gcc-4.2 works, but we want to use llvm-gcc-4.2 instead if that works. ​This mailing list post says that llvm-gcc-4.2 does work, so I've changed the port in r89711 to use that.

This is a bug in the project. They are missing includes. Please fix the project rather than working around it by choosing a different compiler.

Does anyone know if BLT actually works for any apps on Tcl 8.5 even if it can be made to compile? The one port I have that needs it is quite broken on BLT/Tcl 8.5. I had thought it was simply broken on TCL 8.5, but it looks like freebsd apparently supports it on TCL 8.5. ​http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=blt&stype=all

I stepped over the blt port, while i was testing the effects of a threaded tcl on depending ports. I have no blt apps around. As it looks to me the current blt port is not usable, the demos are not working, at least the blt::tile support seems missing. While browsing around, it seems that the way to go is to use blt 2.5 ​http://pdqi.com/w/pw/pdqi/Wize/Blt. I made a quick attempt to provide a portfile for 2.5 (see attachment), but currently it seems to fail to find the tcl and tk library during the destroot step - most likely for an macports expert a trivial task. Maybe the provided incomplete port helps to reduce some typing.
