Update math/reduce to version 20181123
New update: attempt to fix gnuplot by having it detected early.
(In reply to Yuri Victorovich from comment #0) TBH, I am not sure of the fix:some while ago it seemed like gnuplot was not referred to in the build log so I moved it to a run dependency but didn't test it. FWIW, the windows port carries a binary version. According to the mailing lists, upstream recommends installing gnuplot before reduce so the (attached) updated port adds a build dependency as well. Hope that helps. Created attachment 199593 [details]
Update math/reduce to version 20181123
Minor cosmetic fixes in a failed attempt to make portlint happy.

Update math/reduce to version 20181123
Drop the patch: its only slightly related and I don't have areal fix yet.
The port update is now on a different PR. Rainer Rainer Schöpf kindly gave me some pointers concerning gnuplot executables:
The current logic for PSL Reduce is
(1) if $GNUPLOT is set, run $GNUPLOT/gnuplot
(2) otherwise, run gnuplot (relying on $PATH)
For CSL Reduce, it is slightly more complicated
(1) If an environment variable GNUPLOT is set then that should be set to
a path within which the gnuplot executable exists. So eg if the
value of GNUPLOT is "/usr/extras/gnuplotfiles" then the result
here is liable to be "/usr/extras/gnuplotfiles/gnuplot".
(2) If a file called "gnuplot" (or "wgnuplot.exe in the windows case) is
present in the directory where the Reduce executable was found then
it will be used.
(3) If a file called "gnuplot" (or "wgnuplot.exe in the windows case) is
present in the directory where the Reduce image would (by default)
be found then it will be used. In some cases this is actually the
same as (2) above, but it can differ if the executable is in
.../bin and the image in .../share/reduce or some such.
(4) A search will be made in the "standard place". For Windows this will
involve scanning the registry to seek an installation of gnuplot,
while otherwise it will be expected that the ordinary PATH will
provide access.
(5) Failing all else I will just hand back the name of the executable and
hope that it is on a PATH.
We have version 20190413. Is this still relevant? (In reply to Walter Schwarzenfeld from comment #8) It depends on Yuri (no feedback) but I did what I could. (In reply to Pedro F. Giffuni from comment #9) Sorry, I can't retest it now. |
