Bugzilla Bug 153796

Hi, 
I have updated officially branched grass-6.1.0.ebuild
(v 1.5 2006/10/26 19:33:10 marienz) to the latest grass 
release (6.2.0). File 99grass-6.2.0 has to be 
adapted according to 99grass-6.1.0. This ebuild installs
cleanly on my x86 and x86_64 systems. It is compatible with
recent gdal-grass (http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=98261)
and qgis (http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=99966)
ebuilds. Further testing is appreciated!

Thanks,
Christian

grass-6.2.0.ebuild

Without 'ncurses' flag, the pkg_compile phase fails because of errors in
compiling some modules. It's a problem that was reported by Luca Penasa to me
with some of my previous rc version ebuilds. I suggest that 'ncurses' can be
deleted and the compilation against ncurses be set to default.

Also, the dependency on sys-apps/man may be corrected to:
|| (
        sys-apps/man
        sys-apps/man-db )
as stated in bug #149857

Thanks.

Sorry, I was thinking of making ncurses an hard dependency.

Cheers.

Emiliano,
I had already interpreted your statement as claiming a hard
dependency. Also, I had noticed the discussion on ncurses,
and had considered it in an earlier version. Finally, I 
forgot when cleaning up to stick more closely to the 
6.1.0 official branch ebuild.

sys-apps/man: committed as requested.

Bye

Patch to grass-6.2.0-r1.ebuild

Where did you read about ncurses debate?

Here's a patch to enable curses build with configure's option. Also, it deletes
the `use_with ncurses` line.

I cannot try the fixes, I have ATM problems with my ISP and I cannot download
more than 1.4 Mb or my connection gets a timeout. Also, I cannot test your
ebuild, sorry.

Thanks.

Emiliano,
thanks for the patch, it fixes my improper update.
I have patched and reemerged to validate.

ncurses:
sorry, I really can't recall, where I caught up about issues 
with the grass build process connected to the ncurses flag.
Anyways, ncurses is required, not optional! (see 
http://grass.itc.it/grass62/source/REQUIREMENTS.html)

Bye.

Also, per the 6.2.0 release announcement
(http://grass.itc.it/announces/announce_grass620.html) and the updated
requirements list (http://grass.itc.it/grass62/source/REQUIREMENTS.html), both
FFTW 2.x and 3.x are supported now, so could we remove the dep on just 2.x?

Thanks!

Following this advice and others that you can find here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.grass.user/16193
I've developed a new ebuild, featuring:
* proj and X added as hard dependency;
* fftw version is not specified;
* removed dependency on x11-terms/mlterm if nls useflag is set;
* tcl and tk useflags, which require to be both set. If only one of the two is
set, emerge will fail;
* if glw is set, opengl is a requirement, so it checks also for the opengl
useflag;
* added 'python' useflag, which compiles python support (experimental);
* slight changes to ebuild syntax (substituted `...` stuff with $(...) ).

HTH, please feedback.

Patch for grass-6.2.0-r2.ebuild

Here is a patch for the ebuild for fixing the --with-proj flag, indicating
where are the includes and the shared files of proj.

HTH, please feedback.

These are my use flags: USE="aalib dvd cdr ao xinerama swat gnome objc objc++

I get the below error when i try to emerge the patched r2.ebuild, any
suggestions?

autoconf-28098.out 
***** autoconf *****

configure.in:44: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

I think the problem is in line 99, 'eautoconf'. Since GRASS configure script is
regenerated by upstream developers *before* packing a release, it could be
simply deleted from the ebuild.
# cd /path/to/grassass-6.2.0-r2.ebuild
# sed -i '/eautoconf/d' grass-6.2.0-r2.ebuild
# ebuild grass-6.2.0-r2.ebuild digest
probably will do the trick.

I think it's a good idea to delete that line from this ebuild, also.

HTH, please do feedback.

Updated ebuild is inthe tree.  Please test and file any new bugs as
appropriate...
