scid @4.7.0_0: upgrade to 5.0.2

[wepl (Bert Jahn)]

Could you please make scid 5.0.2 available to macports? Currently only 4.7 is available. Thanks a lot.

[Raimondi (Israel Chauca Fuentes)]

Thanks for the heads up. The attached files would update Scid to 5.0.2.

[wepl (Bert Jahn)]

Thanks for you work. I'm unsure how to test this, but did the following: I copied the files into /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/ports/games/scid replacing existing ones. Then executed 'port upgrade scid'. Got:

This Portfile uses cmake to build

[Raimondi (Israel Chauca Fuentes)]

I just uploaded a new Portfile that uses cmake to build. Let me know how that goes.

[wepl (Bert Jahn)]

there are now compiler errors, main.log.2 attached

[Raimondi (Israel Chauca Fuentes)]

I just realized that your machine is running High Sierra (macOS 10.13) and I have no way to test under that version. If you manage to make a working Portfile, we can work on merging the changes.

[wepl (Bert Jahn)]

The Portfile you sent did work in your environment?
So is it failing because the compiler is too old in my environment?
I have here:

 > /usr/bin/clang++ --version
Apple LLVM version 10.0.0 (clang-1000.10.44.4)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin17.7.0

As far as I have checked I can neither upgrade macOS nor Xcode (iMac12,1) anymore.
I don't know how to fix the compiler error.
So if this is all I'll continue to use scid 4.7.0.
Thanks a lot for your time!

[Raimondi (Israel Chauca Fuentes)]

Yes, the Portfile works fine here. Can you install gcc and try with that one?

[wepl (Bert Jahn)]

I have installed gcc-devel. What must I change in the Portfile that it gets used?

[Raimondi (Israel Chauca Fuentes)]

In cmake's FAQ(1) there are a couple of options, but I'm not sure how to handle that in the Portfile. Maybe in the mailing list or #macports someone could answer that or give some pointers.
