comms/limesuite new port shar

Lime Suite is a collection of software supporting several hardware platforms
including the LimeSDR, drivers for the LMS7002M transceiver RFIC, and other
tools for developing with LMS7-based hardware. Installing the Lime Suite
enables many SDR applications such as GQRX to work with supported hardware
through the bundled SoapySDR support module.

WWW: https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSuite

Following port options are available: DOCS GUI QUICKTEST OCTAVE REMOTE

Port options enabled by default:
1. GUI - uses WX3.1.
2. QUICKTEST - uses FLTK.

Port options that can be enabled by hand:
1. DOCS - depends on Doxygen.
2. OCTAVE - depends on Octave.
3. REMOTE - enables library to act as network daemon.

In the meantime I have added SoapySDR module generation. It depends on SoapySDR and it is enabled by default for this mode of operations.

If possible please submit a diff/patch file, it's much easier to review

CMAKE_ARGS --> CMAKE_ON / CMAKE_OFF (and remove +)
PLIST_SUB+ --> (remove +)

QUICKTEST --> TEST (for consistency with ports if it's for unit testing)

Are any of the patches cherry picked from upstream and if not please submit upstream.

This testbuilds fine. It still has CMAKE_ARGS stuff

latest limesuite as tarball

N.B. CMake gets upset if you try to build port in usermode and not as root 
for some reason CMake tries to set a rlib on the stagedir binary
COPYBIN leaves the binaries as read only.
Comment 5 Diane Bruce freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-12-28 00:15:09 UTC
Additionally some startup weirdness that maybe could be looked at. (See additional
attachment) other than that I think it looks good to go. Additional runtime
testing I can do perhaps tomorrow with my LimeSDR.
Looking forward to this port!

start up assertions

A number of weird startup assertions. Not sure if these can be fixed?
Comment 7 Tomasz "CeDeROM" CEDRO 2020-12-28 23:21:07 UTC
Hello world :-) I am back after short christmas break sorry :-) Merry Christmas :-)

Testing requested changes:
1. CMAKE_ARGS -> CMAKE_ON/OFF.
2. PLIST_SUB + removed only in the first occurrence?
3. QUICKTEST is the additional dedicated self-test suite compiled as separate binary that introduces additional dependency on FLTK this is why I have dedicated it a separate option. It is not really generic unit testing related :-)
4. shar -> diff.

All work dedicated to porting LimeSDR and LimeSuite to FreeBSD is documented here: https://github.com/myriadrf/LimeSuite/wiki/LimeSDR-on-FreeBSD

Most of the patches attached to port are already sent to upstream as dedicated github issues.

The goal is to make LimeSuite build and running on FreeBSD first, then fix software issues + patch upstream + update port, also fix firmware issues and patch upstream, in small measurable steps and results :-)

I have reported the wx assertions issue at github upstream :-)

Hey @db are my changes okay? Can we commit the port please? More users means more testing and faster problems solution and port updates + fixes :-)
