UPDATE: avrdude to version 5.1, add usb support

[moll@…]

Version 5.1 supports more processors. I also added a dependency on libusb. Apple computers don't have serial ports anymore, so being able to connect directly through USB seems like a useful feature.

new Portfile for avrdude

[rhwood@…]

Updates and new ports are enhancements

[pguyot (Paul Guyot)]

Mark, please don't hard code /opt/local in Portfiles. Ports can be installed elsewhere. You should use ${prefix} instead.

Besides, I don't understand why you made it depend on libusb. Trace reveals that no file of libusb is accessed during the configuration and the compilation.

[moll@…]

It's odd that libusb isn't used. On my system (10.4.7, intel mac) avrdude is linked against avrdude:

otool -L /opt/local/bin/avrdude

/opt/local/bin/avrdude:

/opt/local/lib/libusb-0.1.4.dylib (compatibility version 9.0.0, current version 9.4.0) /usr/lib/libedit.2.dylib (compatibility version 2.0.0, current version 2.0.0) /usr/lib/libncurses.5.4.dylib (compatibility version 5.4.0, current version 5.4.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 88.1.5)

[pguyot (Paul Guyot)]

I have libusb 0.1.12, which is latest (DP) version. avrdude's configure says: checking for usb_get_string_simple in -lusb... no

otool -L /opt/local/bin/avrdude

/opt/local/bin/avrdude:

/usr/lib/libedit.2.dylib (compatibility version 2.0.0, current version 2.0.0) /usr/lib/libncurses.5.4.dylib (compatibility version 5.4.0, current version 5.4.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 88.1.6)

build log for libusb and avrdude

[pguyot (Paul Guyot)]

You have an old version of libusb.

Please try to uninstall both libusb and avrdude, then reinstall them to get the latest version of libusb (0.1.12) and let me know if otool -L still says that avrdude uses libusb.

[moll@…]

I *have* libusb 0.1.12 installed. The build log is after I did: port uninstall avrdude port uninstall libusb port clean --all avrdude port clean --all libusb So otool still shows that avrdude is dynamically linked against libusb.

[pguyot (Paul Guyot)]

Ah! I figured it out. I fixed your port hardcoded references to /opt/local but I forgot a $ (I had LDFLAGS=-L{prefix}/lib instead of LDFLAGS=-L${prefix}/lib).

I'll commit this port in a second.
