Hi guys,

I solved the problem for me by building asymptote from the source. There have been 3 problems:

• Adding '-stdlib=libstdc++' to the CFLAGS solved the slist.h-problem. In Max OS X Apple obviously moved to the C++11 STL. This can be overriden with the above mentionned CFLAG.

• The other two problems concern the preprocessor macros HAVE_LIBREADLINE and HAVE_LIBSIGSEGV in config.h. The configure script should be called with the option so that both are not defined. Maybe this holds true only for my particular system configuration. Since I am not well schooled in the structure of config.in files and configure scripts, as a quick (but dirty) solution I simply changed config.h

After applying these changes asymptote builds perfectly.

Just added the above mentioned CFLAGS to the Portfile and updated asymptote to version 2.25. Also had to add --disable-offscreen to configure.args as there is an issue with the MESA GLUT.

Update asymptote to 2.28 + other patches

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

I think one can call this maintainer timeout. I'm ready to apply the patch, but the following line is weird:

configure.env       CFLAGS="-stdlib=libstdc++"

I don't have 10.9, so I would like to ask for confirmation that this is still needed. If it's still needed, we need to ask the upstream author for a fix.

Replying to mojca@…:

If you are using Xcode 5.1.x on 10.8 or 10.9 you will have this issue. It is not a problem for 10.7 or below.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

I committed the rest in r120000, but I would like to explore if there is another ("proper") way for to fix this stdlib flag.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

Can someone explain me why CFLAGS instead of CXXFLAGS?

I don't have 10.9 installed yet, but I'm curious to know whether the following blind fix would help. (Not a proper fix yet, but I want to know whether it works at all.)

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

A note to myself: a fix might need to include something like the following (but that still won't be the proper solution).

#include <ciso646>

#ifdef _LIBCPP_VERSION
#include <forward_list> // libc++
#else
#include <ext/slist>    // libstdc++
#endif

I'm looking for testers to try out the latest version from SVN, please see:

I opened a port abandoned ticket (#43714).

Update asymptote to 2.29 (might fix problem on 10.9?), remove dep on texlive (#43691)

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

I added a Portfile for version 2.29 and would like to ask 10.9 users for testing. I suspect there are still problems, but we need detailed reports to be able to fix the sources.

According to mf2k this is where it gets stuck now:

A patch has been applied upstream:

• ​https://sourceforge.net/p/asymptote/code/5651/

Feel free to test.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

a patch for 10.9: bits/stl_algo.h -> algorithm

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

Another patch:

• ​https://sourceforge.net/p/asymptote/code/5652/

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

As pointed out by mf2k, here's a ​discussion on the forum.

The binary builds, but hangs forever. Volunteers to debug the hanging asy welcome ;)

I'm also attaching another patch for testing.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

another patch for 10.9

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Here's latest attempt at the Portfile which hangs while building.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

New patch patch-runlabel.in.diff​ (to be added to Portfile manually for now).

Edit: sorry, doesn't work.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

The basic patch using libstdc++ committed in r120125. Follow up for libc++-related issues in ticket #43728.
