BUG: wxWidgets 2.6.2 fails to build

[g3zi7y.wu72nfp@…]

Here are some informations about my computer system:

I am still working with OS 10.3.9 and Xcode 1.5.

First, I have to mention that I had installed wxWidgets-2.6.2 successfully a few month ago. See bug report 5758, you will find there a list of installed ports on my computer. At that time I had Xcode 1.2 installed on my computer.

I am interested in py-wxpython. so I installed wxWidgets. I had to learn, that py-wxpython-2.6.1 needs wxWidgets-2.6.1. It is not possible to build py-wxpython-2.6.1 with wxWidgets-2.6.2. Therefore I removed wxWidgets-2.6.2 from my darwinports tree and installed wxWidgets-2.6.1 and py-wxpython-2.6.1 without any errors.

Now a new version of wxPython is available (2.6.2) and I wanted to install wxWidgets-2.6.2 again, but in the mean time I upgraded Xcode to version 1.5 ...

I tried different things and end up with the proposed patch of the portfile. The version of QuickTime influences the build process. I started my investigation with QuickTime 7.0.4, downgraded then to 7.0.1, and upgraded again to 7.0.3 and 7.0.4.

I could build the variant 'mac' of wxWidgets with QuickTime 7.0.1 and 7.0.3, and the variant 'cocoa' with QuickTime 7.0.1 and 7.0.4. But the build of variant 'mac' fails with QuickTime 7.0.4 !!

Nevertheless I leave the variant 'mac' as the default.

In the list of installed ports on my computer you will find now the entry:

wxWidgets @2.6.2_0+cocoa+darwin_7+mac (active)

I do not know, why there is still a 'mac' suffix, this is another bug ...

I hope you will not be annoyed about the other minor changes of the portfile I want to propose. These other changes relate to the appearance of the portfile contents and satisfy my sense of aesthetics.

about your aesthetics: I'd rather suggest you change your tab-size to 4 instead of chaning the Portfile. The whitespace-changes make your patch unnecessary hard to read - would you mind providing one with the original whitespace-sets so we can dive right into your actual changes?

Regarding the variants - introducing a variant and making it the default is unnecessary in general. Why not make a 'cocoa' variant and leave the default with the 'mac' style?

proposed patch of portfile (version 2)

[jyrki.wahlstedt@…]

Ok, I had problems in building 2.6.2 myself. I managed to make it by explicitly uninstalling 2.6.1 first. Have you tried that? No comment on the patches

PS DP py-wxpython is still at 2.6.1, so you are doing that outside DP?

[mww@…]

is this still a problem with 2.6.3? If so, please re-open this bug.
