port for marx - the Chandra X-ray observatory ray-trace program

Description

marx is a suite of programs to simulate the Chandra X-ray observatory used by hundreds of astronomers. marx is used to analyze scientific results or to plan observations. In my day job I'm the main developer of marx. It is our policy not to distribute binaries, but building marx on Mac OS X has pitfalls. Thus, I want to help users by getting marx into MacPorts.

I will maintain this port privately in my free time, not as part of my job. Thus, the "maintainer email" is my private address.

We generally don't need compiler.whitelist for modern software. Why are you using it here?

comment:3 Changed 9 years ago by hamogu (Hans Moritz Günther)

marx behaves differently when compiled with clang as opposed to gcc, see

https://github.com/Chandra-MARX/marx/issues/17 https://github.com/Chandra-MARX/marx/issues/18

That's of course an upstream issue and should be fixed in marx, but until it is we need to compile marx with gcc.

comment:4 Changed 9 years ago by mf2k (Frank Schima)

I see. Is there is a reason that gcc 5 is not whitelisted?

comment:5 Changed 9 years ago by hamogu (Hans Moritz Günther)

That's only general caution. marx has not been tested with gcc5 and given the issues with clang I decided to only whitelist those compilers where I know that they work.

I changed the formatting slightly by moving some lines around and changing tabs into spaces.
