Macports Updated

Submitted by illogic-al on Sat, 06/13/2009 - 22:31

The KDE group of portfiles've been updated to 4.2.4. This might fix the massive breakage that occured when the 4.2.0 tarballs disappeared into the InterEther months ago. Or not.

Some other changes are the addition of liblastfm, taglib-extras and qtscriptgenerator. That's right, everything you need to get your bleeding edge fix of amarok. Except amarok itself.

Installing it requires stuff I'm not going to put in a portfile because Saturday's pretty much done and I've already got it working for me. Muahahahahahahahahahahahaahaaaaaaaaaah.

There is a portfile for Amarok (amarok-devel @ rev 981645 which works except for the lastfm plugin not loading.) This will only get you as far as the needed dependencies though as the compilation'll fail.

It'll be fixed whenever someone else tries to fix it or the check for qtscriptgenerator works.
Here's some potential incentive:

Happy compilings!

kdelibs4 on macports

Hi -

I see that you just removed yourself as a maintainer of kdelibs4 on macports, so I may be too late:
http://trac.macports.org/changeset/52298

But I'd really appreciate a hand here.

Backstory: earlier versions of digiKam have been made to work, but SVN head doesn't and the project is in a drive to 1.0. It's be really great if 1.0 was released for Mac, as well as their existing Linux and Windows versions. There's been someone who has done a lot of work and got most of the way there. He's done enough to get one of the core digiKam devs interested and willing to do the last bits. I come in because I can provide remote access to a Mac to Gilles. To do this, I've set up a new box, installed Xcode and am trying to set up all of the dependencies so that the digiKam dev can focus on the digiKam issues and not have to fight with an unfamiliar environment. (He's a linux guy.)

I see that you added kdelibs 4.2.4 to macports last night, which is great, since 4.2.0 was gone.

Unfortunately, here's what I get when I try to install that port:


Error: Checksum (md5) mismatch for kdelibs-4.2.4.tar.bz2
Error: Target org.macports.checksum returned: Unable to verify file checksums
Error: The following dependencies failed to build: kdelibs4
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I don't know enough about macports to know where, exactly, the issue is. Has some change just not yet propogated to a server? This box is a fresh install and I started with a macports install and self update at about 3pm Central Daylight Time this afternoon.

I can file a ticket at macports.org but I thought I'd try you here since perhaps this just was a simple oversight during the check-in process?

Thanks for any direction you can provide.

I think this was a cut and paste error. Can you confirm?

Thanks

Fixed :-D

You can report any more checksum errors here. If stuff doesn't compile file a ticket.

Thanks much!

Just wanted to thank you for the updates. Did you do anything to make the amarok-devel port compile since you wrote this? I didn't have any issues compiling and I'm wondering what changed.

Wouldn't youuuuuu like to know

I will neither confirm not deny any awesomeness on my part in the resolution of the problem at hand. That is all.
