Creating a Portfile for BirdFont

[Johan Mattsson]

Hi
I have created a new portfile for BirdFont (http://birdfont.org). The
package works but it does not pass all tests.

The portfile can be downloaded here: http://birdfont.org/Portfile

I am new to mac and macports and would appreciate if some one could
tell me what mistakes I have made.

I know of one error but I have not been able to figure out how to get
get around it. I get this error message when I run "port install
birdfont":
...
Error: Port birdfont is still broken after rebuiling it more than 3 times.
Error: Please run port -d -y rev-upgrade and use the output to report a bug.
Port birdfont still broken after rebuilding 3 time(s)

This seems to happen because gcc for some reason links the executable
to /usr/local/lib/libbirdfont.dylib instead of
/opt/local/lib/libbirdfont.dylib.
The library is in the build directory during the linking step and i
link it with this command:

gcc build/birdfont/*.o ./build/bin/libbirdfont.dylib ... -o ./build/bin/birdfont

The port seems to work fine despite of this error message. The library
will be loaded from the correct location (/opt/local/lib/). Maybe some
one here knows how to make the package pass the test.

Cheers
Johan
