Gimp: problem building json-glib

30 Dec 2018

      Hello,

I wanted to build Gimp, but I had a problem with json-glib:

--------------------------
prt-cache: installing /usr/ports/opt/json-glib
=======> Building
'/usr/ports/opt/json-glib/json-glib#1.4.2-1.pkg.tar.gz'.
bsdtar -p -o -C /usr/ports/opt/json-glib/work/src -xf
/usr/ports/opt/json-glib/json-glib-1.4.2.tar.xz
+ build
+ cd json-glib-1.4.2
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr
ERROR: Command 'mesontest' not found
=======> ERROR: Building
'/usr/ports/opt/json-glib/json-glib#1.4.2-1.pkg.tar.gz' failed.
prt-cache: error while install

-- Packages where install failed
json-glib
----------------------------

At the moment I test prt-cache, that's the reason why there is no
prt-get commands. 

I did some researches and it seems mesontest is outdated. I have taken
the last version of json-glib but the problem persists. After looking at
the same package in other distribution, I was able to build thhis
package with:

----------------------------------------
# Description: serialization and deserialization of JSON objects
# URL:         https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/JsonGlib
# Maintainer:  Thomas Penteker, tek at serverop dot de
# Depends on:  glib

name=json-glib
version=1.4.4
release=1
source=(https://download.gnome.org/sources/$name/${version%.*}/${name}-${version}.tar.xz)

build() {
	cd $name-$version

        meson --prefix /usr build
        ninja -C build

        DESTDIR="$PKG" meson install -C build
        rm -r $PKG/usr/share/locale
        rm -r $PKG/usr/{libexec,share}/installed-tests
}
-----------------------------------------

I could have report a bug, but I'm not so experienced. So perhaps the
problem is on my side. Does need the port to be updated or I missed
something ?
