qucs: update to 0.0.17; use qt4-mac

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

qucs should be updated to 0.0.17:

$ port livecheck qucs
qucs seems to have been updated (port version: 0.0.16, new version: 0.0.17)

In addition, the port currently cannot be used because it depends on qt3-mac which cannot be built 64-bit nor on Lion or later; see #30679 and #27520. The qucs web site offers a pre-compiled binary of qucs for OS X built with Qt 4.8, so it seems to be possible to use Qt 4 now. So the port should switch to depending on qt4-mac now.

the beginnings of a patch

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I've attached a patch that updates the portfile and patchfiles. Unfortunately it fails to build.

addition of default argument on redeclaration makes this constructor a default constructor

This sounds like a programming error so I've ​reported the bug to the developers.

With 10.8.5 and xcode 4.6.2 I run into the following error:

  errno = ENOENT;       /* no file found */
          ^
2 errors generated.

Two questions:

1. we allready include asco - should we circumvent the inclusion by qucs
2. the error is related to missing UNIX define (-DUNIX) - wasn't it defined before (remember such thing)

add patch from us to ticket

us-patch for qucs_filter.cpp

Replying to rowue@…:

dosdir.c:349:3: error: use of undeclared identifier 'errno'

Yes, I already ​reported that to the developers as well and they've provided a fix which works for me. I don't remember where I was at when I left this port; I'll have to look through my working copy.

From the attachments to this ticket you where left of before applying the other patch (" patch-qucs-filter-qf_filter.cpp.diff​"). Go on if you like, otherwise I'll give it a try this evening (CEST)

Patch to properly configure asco

[rowue@…]

To work with the patch from upstream I had to use autoreconf. Attached a patch which simply works on configure. Got to "xinstall":

Patch to get qucs-0.0.17 working

[rowue@…]

Compiles, installs and runs with the applied diff. Didn't check a simulation (must search for some). Have to deactivate asco.

Q: (ryan) should we use asco from macports or the supplied one? I would recommend using the macports one.

Qucs and ASCO simulation file

[guitorri@…]

Hi, I am the developer providing the patches.

I attached two simulation files. One only involving Qucs, and another making use of ASCO. There should be several other examples on the tarball, but I am not sure if they are set to be installed.

You might need to create a new project and add these files into it before running the simulations.

I am pretty sure you can use ASCO from MacPorts. The disadvantage is that we patched the version included on the tarball. We needed a unbuffered output in order to see line by line of the simulation output on our result monitor window.

Please let me know if I can help you guys further. Also note that there is a known bug on Mac OSX related to misplaced mouse cursors/decorators. It is ugly but harmless. We are working on it.

Regards, Guilherme

Thanks for your support!

[Patchfiles, asco]

If tried a few old simulations of mine (not invoking spice) today and they worked like a charm. For asco - in general I would try to use the macports one - might get this working on the weekend.

Have seen it - a little anoying at first, but harmless at all ;)

Cheers,

PS: If you list us on the download page again, it would be nice to be listed with "MacPorts" and not "DarwinPorts" ;)
