---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: jtomshine@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: submission | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.1 Keywords: | Port: indi ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by jtomshine@…): Hello to the void. I'm not sure if this note will be seen by anyone, but I submitted this port a few weeks ago & haven't heard anything back yet. After a week and a half or so, I resubmitted it, but the resubmission was immediately closed -- I was chastised for the duplicate and assured that it was simply a matter of waiting in the queue. Perhaps that's true, but I'm just posting this note as a "bump" to show that there's still someone watching this submission and waiting... -Jon Replying to [comment:1 jtomshine@…]: > Replying to [ticket:22132 jtomshine@…]: > > "indi" (Instrument-Neutral-Distributed-Interface, http://www.indilib.org) is a protocol designed to support control, automation, data aquisition, and exchange among hardware devices and software frontends.

First, and least significant, the symbolic links that are created by the application's install process no longer uninstall cleanly. Whether this is a major flaw or not, I'm not sure, and the symlinks aren't really even necessary, so they could just be removed altogether. More significant (and probably due to the removal of the pre-configure stage) is the apparent inability of the compiler to properly include files from libnova. With the updated port, "port -d install" produces the following tell-tale lines: -- Performing Test NOVA_FUNCTION_COMPILE -- Performing Test NOVA_FUNCTION_COMPILE - Failed I'm fairly sure that this broke due to the removal of the pre-configure stage, since solving this problem is the reason why I put that there in the first place. -Jon -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22132#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS _______________________________________________ macports-tickets mailing list macports-tickets@... http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-tickets |

The use of -DNOVA_INCLUDE_DIR=${prefix}/include/libnova should solve the same issue, and at least appears to do so for me. Running nm against one of the binaries (indi_lx200generic) shows a number of libnova symbols in it (eg, _ln_get_julian_day) so it seems to be compiling and linking to it properly. > > -Jon -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22132#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS _______________________________________________ macports-tickets mailing list macports-tickets@... http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-tickets |

Not sure what the issue is on my end, but then again, I'm *very* new to portfile development (this is only #2 for me). Go ahead and commit it. Hopefully this new port will get some use though, as two other ports (kstars in the kdeedu port and the xephem port) both have support for the indi interface. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22132#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS _______________________________________________ macports-tickets mailing list macports-tickets@... http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-tickets |

Maybe they are conflicting? The generated CMakeCache.txt file definitely is recording that it found it properly: {{{ NOVA_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/mp/include/libnova }}} (My prefix is /mp instead of /opt/local) Looking at cmake_modules/FindNova.cmake, it should find the file in /opt/local/include/libnova as libnova.h, nothing odd/special there that I can see. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22132#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS _______________________________________________ macports-tickets mailing list macports-tickets@... http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-tickets |

I'll continue to play with it -- see if I can make your Portfile work on my system. Are you sure that the Portfile you posted is exactly the same as the one you're using (and having success with)? I've tried & retried the installation: making doubly- and triply-sure that my earlier version was uninstalled and even uninstalling & reinstalling the libnova port, and for the life of me I can't figure out what's wrong... In any case, even if it doesn't find libnova, it's not fatal -- it just means that certain executables won't be produced, and a slightly smaller set of telescopes will be supported as a result. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22132#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS _______________________________________________ macports-tickets mailing list macports-tickets@... http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-tickets |

My installation of macports is pretty plain-vanilla at the moment too, since I just upgraded to 10.6 quite recently & started from scratch. I'd just go ahead & commit for the moment. With any luck, a few more reports might break the impasse. ...though the failure is so subtle that it might not be noticed by many users, and this port probably won't have a huge amount of traffic anyway.

I was able to get your version of the port (the one that's live now) to work properly by specifying alternate compilers. Using the copies of gcc43 and gcc44 installed through macports seems to work, but using the default version that came with xcode doesn't. Strangeness... I suspect that there might be something fishy with libnova -- I tried compiling some of their example code ( http://libnova.sourceforge.net/examples.html ), and it displays odd output -- looks like some kind of pointer problem, but I didn't spend much time looking at it. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22132#comment:12> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS _______________________________________________ macports-tickets mailing list macports-tickets@... http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-tickets |
