[Petitpoucet-user] gpsbabel patches to build library

[Ryan S. <rya...@us...>]

Hi. I'm trying to create a portfile for petitpoucet for MacPorts; see:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15969

I'm discovering that petitpoucet requires a modified version of  
gpsbabel which installs a library. My question is why your patches to  
gpsbabel have not been included in gpsbabel itself. I would rather  
not have to patch gpsbabel in MacPorts. Besides, your patches  
provided with petitpoucet 0.1.4 are for gpsbabel 1.3.4 (or possibly  
1.3.2 [1]) but the version of gpsbabel in MacPorts is 1.3.5 so I'm  
not sure if the patches will still work.


[1] It's unclear; the user_guide.pdf says "There is no API and header  
stability with GPSBabel,  version 1.3.4 is required" but then says  
"Get GPSBabel source code version 1.3.2".


Unrelated: it would be great if you could excise the spam from the  
mailing list archives. Thanks.
