The require_active_variants procedure in the active_variants 1.1 portgroup.

CFITSIO's Fortran interface

[Sébastien Maret]

Hello,

I am maintaining the Gildas port which depends on the CFITSIO library. CFITSIO 
has a Fortran interface but it is not built by default: one need to select a 
specific variant (e.g. +gcc 5) for this. This is a problem for the Gildas 
because the compilation fails without the Fortran interface:
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50543

Is there a way for a port to depend on a specific variant of another port? If 
not then how can I solve this?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Sébastien

A minimal set of Qt5/KF5 ports with corresponding Qt4/KDE4 fixes ready for testing...

[MacPorts]

Dear Nicolas,

I think you're aware of René's striving for getting KF5 to work in 
MacPorts...


In the last 2 months or so I tried to catch up with his incredible pace 
and thus
decided to at least come up with a minimal set of ports, which would 
allow to

get started with KF5 on OSX based on MacPorts.

It took me quite a while to do so, but I think I have it now - thanks to 
René's

constant tireless support.

As I am currently disconnected from my MacPorts-KDE git repository at 
KDE's
server [1], so I created a clone at GitHub and committed my Qt5/KF5 tree 
as

branch

MacPorts-RJVB-KF5

to that instead [2]!

This way you could get up and running with Qt5/KF5 quickly yourselves, 
by
installing port:qt5-kde and port:KF5-Frameworks after copying in all 
required

PortGroup files, as I do using copy_resources.bash [3].

I installed port:KF5-Frameworks in its kde4compact variant in order to 
be able

to have everything concurrently installed with KDE4 ports in the system.


The idea now would be whether you could test this whole set of ports 
with
your latest (still private) changes to KDE4, so that we find any 
glitches before

we commit the adapted or new Qt[45], KDE4 and KF5 PortFile and PortGroup
files.

Would be cool if we could roll out KF5-Frameworks and all the ports 
connected
with it some time soon, so that other users can join us testing this 
more easily.
But you could be guinea pig #3 for a start... If you want to go for it 
that is!



René asked me to mention that he's planning to bump KF5 to version 
5.18.0

once he got some feedback on the QSP/XDG questions he posted on MLs
KDE-MAC and MacPorts-dev recently.

Please let us know what you think and test KF5 in conjunction with whole 
KDE4

if you have the time and stamina that is. Would be really great.

Thanks in advance!

Greets,
Marko

Is there any particular type of project you have in mind (writing port
files, working on codebase) ?

Firstly you need to have a OS X machine. Install Xcode and xcode
command line tools. Once you have installed this, you can install
macports from source by following the steps at:
https://www.macports.org/install.php#source

You can find a more detailed guide here: https://guide.macports.org/.

Then you can try out Tcl tutorials at
https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/tutorial/tcltutorial.html and go through
the codebase so you will get some idea. Don't worry if you don't
understand anything, you can always ask for help.

If you have any queries you can drop a mail in the ML or we also
available on IRC at #macports on freenode network.
