homepage: asymptote.sourceforge.net from the homepage: Asymptote is a powerful script-based vector graphics language that provides a natural coordinate-based framework for technical drawing. Labels and equations are typeset with LaTeX, for high-quality PostScript output. A major advantage of Asymptote over other graphics packages is that it is a programming language, as opposed to just a graphics program: it can therefore exploit the best features of script (command-driven) and graphical user interface (GUI) methods. Features of Asymptote: inspired by MetaPost, with much cleaner, powerful C++-like programming syntax and numerics; mathematically oriented (e.g. rotation of vectors by complex multiplication); LaTeX typesetting of labels (important for document consistency); compiles figures into pseudo-machine code for speed without sacrificing portability; uses simplex method and deferred drawing to solve overall size constraint issues between fixed-sized objects (labels and arrowheads) and objects that should scale with figure size; high-level graphics commands are implemented in the Asymptote language itself, allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications; designed to become the de-facto standard for typesetting mathematical figures, just as TeX/LaTeX has become the standard for typesetting equations. ---- i tried out, several times, to write ebuilds, but in the end, the result was completly different to the ebuild that i started with. i think that someone who knows his job fits better for doing this from the beginning, then looking for someone afterwards to correct my errors. many thanks, if you could make an ebuild for that piece of software
Looks like it should belong to the TeX like programs.
Created attachment 51826 [details] ebuild for asymptote 0.65 Preliminary ebuild for asymptote 0.65
Created attachment 54775 [details] asymptote-0.71.ebuild Version bump to 0.71. I have modified the previous ebuild making some changes: * now it uses some virtual deps * now the doc use-flag really permits to not make/install the docs * added html doc * added base doc * moved examples to /usr/share/ * filtered -O3 compile flag * added a postinst() note for some env variables The category could be media-gfx.
Created attachment 56828 [details] asymptote-0.75.ebuild Version bump to 0.75. Changes in the ebuild: * removed double installation command * asymptote.info is now installed in /usr/share/info (so it's gzipped) * removed CFLAGS definition from configure.ac (otherwise that definition overwrites user defined flags)
Created attachment 57954 [details] asymptote-0.76.ebuild Version bump to 0.76. Changes to the ebuild: * some cleanup * removed dev-libs/boost dependency
Comment on attachment 51826 [details] ebuild for asymptote 0.65 newer ebuild for 0.76 obsoletes this one.
Created attachment 59406 [details] asymptote-0.78.ebuild Version bump to 0.78. Changes: * added use flag 'boehm-gc' for Boehm garbage collector * added info during patching To use boehm-gc it's necessary to check that dev-libs/boehm-gc was compiled with the use "c++" enabled. I don't know if there is a better way to do this check instead of the method I have used in the ebuild :-)
have you ever tried built_with_use() ? (from eutils.eclass)
Created attachment 59415 [details] asymptote-0.78.ebuild Mamoru, thanks for the tip :-)
Created attachment 59445 [details] asymptote-0.78.ebuild Moved the boehm-gc check into pkg_setup()
Created attachment 60021 [details] Output from emerge --info for my system For 0.78: I tested the basic functionality, LaTeX integration, and the (rudimentary) GUI on my system. The installation encountered no problems and everying is working fine. My system profile is attached. Thanks for making this ebuild!
Created attachment 61596 [details] asymptote-0.80.ebuild Version bump to 0.80. Changes: * updated check for c++ support in boehm-gc (the latest version of boehm-gc uses nocxx) * updated dep on boehm-gc-6.5
Created attachment 63933 [details] asymptote-0.83.ebuild Version bump to 0.83 Changes: * removed filtering of CFLAGS * added contrib directory for asy-mode.el and asy.vim and added a note on these files
just wanted to report: new version available: 0.87 may i ask, when/if this really nice program will make it into portage?
Please fix the following and reopen: * autoconf needs to be a DEPEND. You should also use WANT_AUTOCONF to say which autoconf you need. * http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/mw-faq/spacing.txt (src_compile, pkg_post*) * http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/mw-faq/einstall.txt * http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/mw-faq/docfiles.txt (LICENSE) You may wish to handle the vim and emacs syntax files properly too.
Created attachment 68881 [details] asymptote-0.87.ebuild Updated to version 0.87. Changes: * removed LICENSE from documentation * substituted spaces with tabs * added autoconf as DEPEND and WANT_AUTOCONF * added a note on using einstall * fixed seding (latexdir, asymptote.ps)
You forgot to reopen...

Created attachment 71655 [details] asymptote-0.92.ebuild Updated to 0.92.
Created attachment 73689 [details] asymptote-0.95.ebuild Updated to the version 0.95: some fixes and cleanup with the installation of the documentation.
Created attachment 84715 [details] asymptote-1.03.ebuild Version bump The hack used to fix latexdir did not work for me (it applied to a branch in configure that was not executed at all); I supplemented it by another hack which works in the correct branch The new ebuild installs the emacs mode and the vim syntax file properly, if asked by use flags
Created attachment 84716 [details] files/64asy-gentoo.el This file goes with asymptote-1.03.ebuild
asymptote-1.03 successfully emerged on x86
(In reply to comment #23) > asymptote-1.03 successfully emerged on x86 Thanks for the fix but there is an error in your ebuild (it is missing a $ in front of datadir). I have removed my patches to latexdir and contribdir. I have also updated the dependencies with boehm-gc-6.7 as the author works with that version.
Created attachment 84720 [details] asymptote-1.03.ebuild
asymptote-1.03.ebuild works nicely in my i686 box. However, when typing 'help' inside asy, a wrong '/usr/share/doc/asymptote/asymptote.pdf' file launchs instead of '/usr/share/doc/asymptote-1.03/asymptote.pdf'. The problem looks like ASYMPTOTE_DOCDIR being set to /usr/share/doc/asymptote in config.h when running 'configure', but actual doc files are moved afterwards. Sorry for not sending a patch, but I don't fully understand the ebuild!
This is not a tex package... Just because it uses latex to make labels and stuff doesn't make it a tex package. It is foremost a graphics package. I agree that this should be added to portage but not with text-markup as primary maintainer, again this is a graphics package.
Well, it's closely related to tex and should be seen as an alternative to metapost, thus the text-markup Cc. I had planned to add it some time ago but there was a blocking issue with the stymied problem, which is now solved in the latest tetex.
Created attachment 85068 [details] asymptote-1.03.ebuild Here is a fix for the problem with the documentation. Thanks Marc!

Okay then :) > I had planned to add it some time ago but > there was a blocking issue with the stymied problem, which is now solved in > the latest tetex. Then I think text-markup should be second herd or something like that... Something along the lines: "Don't bother us unless it's tex related"?
Yes, that was the idea. I had contacted graphics herd back then (a couple months ago) and they were ok with it.
I've just renamed the latest asymptote-1.03.ebuild to asymptote-1.04.ebuild, and emerged asymptote-1.04. Everything seems fine, help works (thanks for the latest correction).
Created attachment 85939 [details] asymptote-1.04.ebuild Updated to version 1.04: * added dep (GNU Scientific Library) * support for DESTDIR during `make install` * better support to doc installation

I have discovered the compilation problem with +gsl USE flag enabled. In the next hours there will be another release of asymptote which solves that problem and a locale problem. So it's better to avoid the upgrade to the version 1.04 :-)

And i not touched configure.ac. Is the magic solved? Because from the aymptote forum you need to mod configure.ac. But my asy is linked with gsl: $ ldd /usr/bin/asy |grep gsl libgsl.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgsl.so.0 (0x00002b0e44051000) libgslcblas.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgslcblas.so.0 (0x00002b0e442fd000) and i don't changed anything. I emerged with gsl useflag. Using gsl-1.8.
Created attachment 86774 [details] asymptote-1.04.ebuild Fixed the problem with GSL and backported the fix with the locale support (which is fixed in the future 1.05 version)
Created attachment 86775 [details, diff] pattern.patch
Created attachment 86777 [details, diff] string.patch
Created attachment 87138 [details] asymptote-1.05.ebuild Update to 1.05 version
The latest ebuild builds asymptote-1.06 successfully
The latest ebuild builds asymptote-1.07 successfully, but doesn't install the info file.
Created attachment 89749 [details] asymptote-1.07.ebuild In all releases there are usually some changes in configure.ac/Makefile so please verify if the ebuild works 100% :-) Updated to version 1.07
asymptote links against various things it doesn't depend on which causes problems for binary packages (which is how I noticed it). I haven't looked at it very carefully but I specifically noticed dev-libs/libsigsegv, see the log file: checking for stackoverflow_install_handler in -lsigsegv... yes whereas on my laptop which for some reason doesn't have libsigsegv: checking for stackoverflow_install_handler in -lsigsegv... no I guess we should either (a) add a dep on dev-libs/libsigsegv or (b) poke at the configure script to allow this to be controlled via a useflag. I think (a) would be easier.
Created attachment 89944 [details] asymptote-1.09.ebuild Updated to version 1.09. Fixed the dep on dev-libs/libsigsegv, thanks Colin!

Colin, I have built asymptote with USE="boehm-gc doc fftw gsl vim -emacs" without problems. The warnings of the kind asymptote.texi:647: warning: @image file `diagonal.txt' (for text) unreadable: No such file or directory. you're seeing is normal behaviour (the .info files hasn't images). When the compilation breaks enter in /var/tmp/portage/asymptote-1.09/work/asymptote-1.09/doc and patch the Makefile with sed -i -e 's/asy -f/asy -v -f/' Makefile and then run make to continue.
../asy -f png Bode.asy make[1]: *** [Bode.png] Error 1 This doesn't look like an error with the ebuild or the makefiles. Versions >= 1.07 of asymptote will always exit with error 1 in my system at startup no matter whatever flags I put so there's no chance to know what's wrong without some gdb debugging. Colin, does your 1.09 -doc really work or it just compiles and fails at runtime?
Comment #50 is right: my asy doesn't seem to do anything, it just returns right away when I type asy at the command prompt. "asy -v" also doesn't show anything either. Use flags: USE="boehm-gc emacs fftw gsl -doc -vim" gdb: Starting program: /usr/bin/asy (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread -1214526608 (LWP 15662)] Program exited with code 01. (gdb) I know thats pretty useless on a stripped binary. I may have time tomorrow to recompile without stripping and try again. Also, if I have time, I'll go look upstream.
Colin, up to now I have found only a problem running asy in interactive mode: $ asy Segmentation fault Please report this programming error to http://sourceforge.net/projects/asymptote Aborted This happens when gv is not installed, so to avoid the segfault provide a PS viewer as $ ASYMPTOTE_PSVIEWER=kghostview asy
I do have gv installed and I also tried "ASYMPTOTE_PSVIEWER=gv asy" and "ASYMPTOTE_PSVIEWER=evince asy". Both exit, like asy on its own, with exit code 1. I'm rebuilding with nostrip, maybe that will tell me something...
re: Comment #49: I tried the -v patch to the doc makefile but it doesn't make any difference (this makes sense because running "asy -vvv" from the command line still just exits with code 1. I tried to make an unstripped binary but because it doesn't segfault, I don't know how to generate a backtrace... Not sure what else to try...
Try to launch asy with the tool strace (dev-util/strace) $ strace asy
Created attachment 90295 [details] asy.strace Here's an strace of asy, not sure what it means but I do wonder about all that GNUStep stuff...
Sorry, I can't see any useful information from strace :-( Try asymptote 1.10 as suggested on asymptote forums, just rename the ebuild. Asymptote 1.10 solves my segfault problem when started in interactive mode.
1.10 does not seem to fix the problem, it still exits with exit code 1.
In main.cc there is a piece of code in the function setsignal() executed only when libsigsegv is installed. In that point there is some error checking and the program can exit with error code 1. Try to unmerge libsigsegv and then recompile asymptote.
I just removed the exit(1) calls from setsignal in main.cc (in subversion and upcoming 1.11 release) to work around the broken libsigsegv-2.3 library. Better yet, simply upgrade to the latest version of libsegsigv: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libsigsegv/libsigsegv-2.4.tar.gz void setsignal(RETSIGTYPE (*handler)(int)) { #ifdef HAVE_LIBSIGSEGV char mystack[16384]; stackoverflow_install_handler(&stackoverflow_handler, mystack,sizeof (mystack)); sigsegv_install_handler(&sigsegv_handler); #endif signal(SIGBUS,handler); signal(SIGFPE,handler); }
I locally bumped libsigsegv to 2.4 and now asymptote 1.10 works fine. Thanks for the help. I filed bug #138518 to get libsigsegv 2.4 in tree, but bugzilla won't let me add it as a dependency for this bug.
Asymptote 1.11 fixes the bug with libsigsegv. The ebuild from 1.09-r1 works for me now (renamed). Should the dependency with bug #138518 be removed?
Ok I agree it now doesn't depend on 138518 but to have a fully functional asymptote, libsigsegv 2.4 seems to be required, see: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1525503&forum_id=409349 I'll drop the block from my other bug...
Created attachment 101332 [details] asymptote-1.18.ebuild I've used the previous version of this ebuild to emerge asymptote-1.18, and got a sandbox violation because, while building docs, LaTeX has called metafont to create some fonts which were not yet used in my computer, and metafont wanted to write them to /var/cache/fonts. This is, perhaps, 111-th time I have this problem. It would be very good to exclude all directories to which metafont writes something from the sandbox control globally, because the number of packages using LaTeX for docs is quite large. But since this is not done, here is a fixed ebuild. I've uploaded it to the Gentoo science overlay (http://gentooscience.org/), for wider and easier testing. But I do hope that it will be in portage before too many years :-)

Is there something else I didn't get to that can go against pushing boehm-gc as hard dependency? Also, there are some troubles with fftw and gsl libraries: I have both installed on my system but I disabled them with the useflags. Nonetheless, asymptote was compiled against that. I took my time and fixed this bad behaviour in configure.ac; if you are interested, I will post that patch and a (maybe working)version of the ebuild for asymptote-1.20. Let me know.
Yes, please post your patches and current ebuild, I am thinking about taking over asymptote in order to finally get it into gentoo.
Created attachment 108969 [details, diff] configure.ac patch for enabling of --with-{fftw,gsl} This file patches configure.ac and adds the --with-fftw and --with-gsl flags (and their --without counterpart).
Created attachment 108971 [details, diff] Various patches for Makefiles This file patches Makefile.in and doc/Makefile for errors and a more linear install phase.
Created attachment 108973 [details] asymptote-1.20.ebuild Here there is the ebuild which I used for compile 1.20. I also mention that fftw seems not so optional: with the configure.ac patch which I have just posted, USE="-fftw" emerge asymptote will fail. Instead, USE="-doc" emerge asymptote will install only the manpages and the classical distribution files (BUGS, README, LICENSE...). HTH, please feedback.
Emiliano: maybe you should consider submitting your patches upstream? They are very prompt at making user requested changes.
(In reply to comment #74) > Emiliano: maybe you should consider submitting your patches upstream? That's a good idea, but first I prefer that these patches can be tested a little: they worked for me but I am not so sure that they will do on any other system. Also, what 'makefile' patch does is something subjective: Gentoo users which don't use the flag 'doc' don't want more material installed, whereas Asymptote's author probably thinks that the FAQ or the info files are *required* for a minimal installation.
I have checked this in now. It should appear on the mirrors soon. There may still be some glitches, please test it out and report anything that still remains in new bugs.
files/64asy-gentoo.el is missing in the tree, emerge fails
The binary xasy in asymptote-1.20 needs the tkinter module in python, and thus fails if python wasn't compiled with the "tk" use flag. Can this be added to the ebuild ?
Created attachment 111237 [details, diff] Patch for warning for USE="-tk" dev-lang/python Here's a patch for fixing problem stated in comment #78. HTH.

Could you please re-emerge the packages below and see if asymptote does compile? # emerge -av1 linux-headers # emerge -av1 glibc # emerge -av1 asymptote HTH
(In reply to comment #81) > It is strange. /usr/include/sys/types.h belongs to glibc-2.5. Yes, I know. I recompiled them but the errors are the same. At the given line in the header file stands: typedef __pid_t pid_t;
I am in discussion with the asymptote people for the problem with types.h and pid_t, it seems to be caused by some recent upgrade, but I could not find out which. The discussion is here: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1683277&forum_id=409349 However I have a workaround that I will put into the ebuild to avoid this for now.
I have now added the missing file, added the check for 'tk' in python, added a workaround for the problems with pid_t and also fixed the vim-use-flag, see Bug 167405. Please test and report fresh Bugs for anything that is still not working.
With the workaround also asymptote 1.21 compiles without problems for me.
