New description:
wxWidgets is 32bit only and doesn't build on Lion or later. This is
causing dependent ports to fail to build packages on buildbot. Please
update the port to "just work" better on our currently supported
platforms. Based on the instructions in the ticket, it sounds like we
should just transition to wxWidgets-3.0 (or wxWidgets-2.8 for ports that
don't compile with 2.9).

Comment:
I started working on this, see
http://trac.macports.org/browser/users/mojca/wxports. The PortGroup
doesn't work yet, but I hope on some help from community. The idea would
be to replace {{{wxWidgets}}} by {{{wxWidgets-2.8}}}, {{{wxWidgets-
devel}}} and {{{wxWidgets30}}} by {{{wxWidgets-3.0}}} (naming scheme
consistent with ports like llvm, clang, ... cleaner than no dots in
numbers). The ports {{{wxWidgets-2.8}}} and {{{wxWidgets-3.0}}} can
already be installed side-by-side, but more testing is needed and ports
need to be adapted once the {{{PortGroup}}} is done.
The problem is that I have no clue about the zillion of python variants
and I'm also not sure if wxgtk is needed or working. Any help with those
highly appreciated.
My wishlist for the {{{PortGroup}}}:
- allow the port to specify an incompatibility with a certain version of
wxWidgets; suggestions welcome
- set wxWidgets version to 3.0 by default
- if 2.8 is requested (because port doesn't support 2.9), automatically
set {{{supported_archs i386 ppc}}} & {{{universal_variant no}}}, blacklist
{{{clang}}}
- if 10.8 is used or Xcode >= 4.4 on 10.7, don't even attempt to compile
the port which depends on 2.8 (throw an error)
- I'm not sure if this is needed, but on 10.4 one should either set 2.8 by
default, or deprecate installation of any wxWidgets dependency on Tiger (I
believe that 10.5 should be supported, I'm not sure why the Portfile for
wxWidgets30 asks for 10.6)
- set {{{${wxWidgets.confpath}}}} variable to
{{{${prefix}/libexec/wxWidgets/${version}}}}; suggestions for a better
name welcome
Here's a list of dependencies on wx* that need to be adapted along with
wxWidgets (most probably lacking some ports, for wxPython in particular),
please fill the list if you spot any:
{{{
wxWidgets, wxWidgets-devel, wxWidgets30
- devel/poedit [req] (on SL autoreplace 2.8 with 3.0) {raimue
openmaintainer}
- math/gnuplot [+wxwidgets/devel/30] {mojca
openmaintainer}
- math/wxMaxima [required/+wxwidgets-devel/30] {usami-k
openmaintainer}
only with wxWidgets30:
- aqua/pgAdmin3 [no option, required] {jwa}
- gis/grass [+wxwidgets] {nomaintainer}
- multimedia/mkvtoolnix [+wxwidgets] {nomaintainer}
- perl/p5-alien-wxwidgets [required] {nomaintainer}
- perl/p5-wx (depends on p5-alien-wxwidgets) {nomaintainer}
- perl/p5-graphics-gnuplotif (depends on gnuplot) {nomaintainer}
- science/gnuradio [+wxgui] (wxwidgets-devel) {michaelld
openmaintainer}
- science/stimfit [required] {gmx.de:christsc}
currenty only depends on wxWidgets 2.8:
- cross/usbprog
{lilalinux.net:macports}
- devel/codeblocks (+wxgtk [freebsd]) {afb}
- devel/wxd {usami-k
openmaintainer}
- devel/wxstedit (+wxgtk [freebsd]) {afb}
- graphics/wxLua (depends on wxstdedit)
- emulators/lisaem {ryandesign}
- lang/erlang [+wxwidgets, optional] {bfulgham}
- graphics/esdl (depends on erlang) {bfulgham}
- graphics/hugin-app [no option, required] {gmail.com:hvdwolf}
- graphics/rt-volume-rendering [no option, required] {gmail.com:bugcutt}
- math/fityk {nomaintainer}
- math/gnudatalanguage (not functional yet) {takeshi}
- security/otrproxy [no option, required] {nomaintainer}
- www/FileZilla [no option, required] {strasweb.fr:rudloff
openmaintainer}
don't know:
- science/plplot {takeshi
openmaintainer}
python:
- python/py-wxpython {nomaintainer}
- python/py-wxpython26 {nomaintainer}
- python/py-wxpython30 {jwa}
- python/py-mayavi {gmail.com:jjstickel
openmaintainer}
- python/py-pyface {gmail.com:jjstickel
openmaintainer}
- python/py26-wxpython {jameskyle}
- python/py27-wxpython-devel {jwa}
other:
- cross/wxmsw {nomaintainer}
- graphics/wxWidgets {jwa}
- graphics/wxWidgets-devel {jwa}
- graphics/wxWidgets-python {nomaintainer}
- graphics/wxWidgets26 {nomaintainer}
- graphics/wxWidgets30 {jwa}
- x11/wxgtk {nomaintainer}
}}}
But cleanup is needed on the {{{PortGroup}}} first, only then should ports
be changed - to prevent double or triple effort.
