I have uploaded a new portfile that looks at the new sourceforge server. Could this ticket be reviewed:

http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/11232

I did not find a way to disable looking for cppunit or boost.

Doug,

I tried it and I have only two questions based on this:

-------------------------------------
Building GMTL Version: 0.4.12
Install prefix:
/opt/local/var/db/dports/build/_Users_mduling_dports_math_gmtl/ work/destroot/opt/local
checking for CppUnitDir [/usr/local/include]...
no
checking for EnablePython [False]...
Using Boost version 1.31
checking for BoostPythonDir [/usr/local]...
/usr/local/include/boost/version.hpp not found.
Trying /usr/local/include/boost-1_31/boost/version.hpp
/usr/local/include/boost-1_31/boost/version.hpp not found.
-------------------------------------

1) Should the app be compiled with boost support? If so a dependency for it should be added for the MP version and a switch or configure patch to
point gmtl to the MP one.
2) Or should boost support be turned off, or only off by default with
optional support provided with a boost variant?
3) If boost support is added one way or another, then unless there are special circumstances (and there could be because I am not in a position to know) then the port should not look for a non-MP boost (in / usr). As
it is now the port will
4) The same questions hold for CppUnitDir, whatever that is.

For basic development usage boost and cppunit are not needed. I figured after it was in use for a little while the other variants could be added. I talked with the developers of the library and they did not seem to think it was an immediate requirement to have the other variants available. I will see if it is possible to disable the boost and cppunit requirement.

After getting these issues resolved you should submit the portfile as an attachment to a Trac ticket, though sometimes you need to prod someone to
commit it with a list message to get it soon.

Mark


Thanks for trying it out and the feedback!
