xraylib fails to configure:

Thanks for reporting this: this is related to #39223 xraylib will build again nicely when they fix this bug...

My reading of #39223 says that it's not a Python bug; it's a bug in the software that's trying to use Python.

[Tom.Schoonjans@…]

Ok then... looks like that autoconf macro I've been using all those years isn't working anymore...

I've updated the portfile and have created new patch files. I also noticed that xraylib wasn't compatible with lua 5.2, that's also fixed now. Variants for python33 and gcc48 were added as well, while g95 was removed.

[Tom.Schoonjans@…]

Delete all existing patchfiles please

[Tom.Schoonjans@…]

Hey,

Can you check if these patches work? I'd really like this to be fixed since currently the port won't even build with the default variant... These new patches will replace all the existing ones.

Thanks,

Tom

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Thanks. Committed in r106665 with the minor change of fixing the python33 variant to depend on python33 instead of python32.

[Tom.Schoonjans@…]

Thanks!

Could you also have a look at my port submissions #38755 and #39255?

Thanks in advance,

Tom
