Hi,
One of my ports upstream recently (15 days ago) split two libraries into
their own repo on github. I discovered this diagnosing a build failure:
slippy$ ./autogen.sh
Error: libntech/libutils/sequence.h is missing
You probably forgot to use the --recursive option when cloning
To fix it now, run:
git submodule init && git submodule update
slippy$
Their instructions obviously work however incorporating this into ports is
a different matter. My options are:
1) Create a new port, libntech. This installs nothing and furthermore what
it builds is a couple of .a archives. I suppose a person could construct
a
port to install the required files "by hand" but for a single port this
is
bordering on wrong.
2) Have the port download two tarballs from github. But, how, elegantly?
