Port: ncview udunits2

Description

ncview @2.1.1_11 on Sierra install checks for libudunits2.a, and only has a dylib in /opt/local/lib

/opt/local/lib/libudunits2.dylib

Copying an old libudunits2.a to /opt/local/lib ncview builds fine.

maybe udunits2 needs to install a .a lib as well as a shared lib ?

ncview should be fixed to use the dylib.

I can confirm this bug, would love to see it fixed, thanks!

I was able to bypass this problem creating a symbolic link to libudunits2.dylib: 

cd /opt/local/lib
sudo ln -s libudunits2.dylib libudunits2.a

It seems that libudunits2.a is checked at configure time only.

Bug confirmed. Workaround does not work for me: 

> ncview
dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libudunits2.0.dylib
  Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/ncview
  Reason: image not found

I forgot to mention that you need to reinstall ncview after the creation of the symlink. Sorry.
So the sequence is:

  1. update udunits2
  2. create the symlink as explained in my previous post
  3. reinstall ncview

At the end of point 1 port tries to rebuild ncview (due to the rev-upgrade feature) and fails.
On my platform, once udunits2 has been updated the dylib is installed as: 

/opt/local/lib/libudunits2.dylib

note the missing 0 in the name. This is why you need to reinstall ncview.
This worked for me.

Thanks for clarification. Works for me, too.

Same problem with Yosemite config. The workaround with the symlink worked for me as well.

It works for me now - can you update and try again?
