geda-gaf @1.6.2_0 (epoch 1): Update port to stable-1.8.2

What is the status of transitioning geda-gaf from 1.6.2 to 1.8.2? (Problem from last update to the port #41100)

[thomasrussellmurphy (Thomas Russell Murphy)]

Is there a status update, yet?

[gareth@…]

When I build this project from source under MacPorts, in order to avoid the error described in #41100, I need to have the following environment variable set before running gschem:

export LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib

Somehow this allows the application to find the guile library it is missing. Hope this helps in the investigation.

Cool - I'll take a look. I've been a bit busy of late, but I like the LTDL_LIBRARY_PORTS avenue.

[thomasrussellmurphy (Thomas Russell Murphy)]

Any further progress?

This is not strictly related to the upgrade, but it's the only open ticket about geda-gaf.

Version 1.6.2 from the buildbot somehow links against an outdated libpng. I'll revbump the port for now, but here's the potential list of other dependencies (some of them might not be relevant as I didn't rebuild ports with delete_la_files):

atk
cairo
fontconfig
freetype
gdk-pixbuf2
geda-gaf
gettext
glib2
gmp
gtk2
guile
libiconv
libtool
pango
xorg-libX11
xorg-libXau
xorg-libXcomposite
xorg-libXcursor
xorg-libXdamage
xorg-libXdmcp
xorg-libXext
xorg-libXfixes
xorg-libXi
xorg-libXinerama
xorg-libXrandr
xorg-libxcb
xrender

When working on 1.8, you might want to revisit the dependencies (please don't blindly use my list).

Geting this to build at all either 1.8.2 or 1.9.1 or even the head of git has proven to be a challenge. Rest assured I'm still working on it. But if anyone has any ideas let me know.

Replying to emer@…:

You should provide some info about what the challenges are in order to receive help on that matter.

edit: I bumped version to 1.8.2, updated the dependency from guile 1.8 to 2.0 and dropped the relevant post-patch phase along with the patchfile and I'm able to build and install geda-gaf port. I only tried gschem and gnetlist so you may want to perform a more thorough test.

I'm attaching the patch for the port revision currently in tree.

On a separate topic the configure script printed the following

	Some deprecated features have been used. Set the
	environment variable GUILE_WARN_DEPRECATED to
	"detailed" and rerun the program to get more
	information. Set it to "no" to suppress this
	message.

but when I accordingly set the variable in the configure environment the script just didn't skipped printing the previous message without providing any further info. See if you can manage to figure what it meant, just add a

    configure.env-append     GUILE_WARN_DEPRECATED="detailed"

to the Portfile.

Thanks. Taking a look now. I was having trouble at runtime with nothing showing up. But maybe the switch to guile 2 will help.

[markemer (Mark Anderson)]

Another concern I had was the "stable" is 2 years old, despite lots of dev on the git repo. But that's another ticket for another time.

[markemer (Mark Anderson)]

Ok, turns out I had a borked GMP install this whole time. Although it didn't show itself until I succesfully built geda-gaf. This patch looks good, I say we pull the trigger.
