Support creating pot file without line numbers

Support excluding __history and __recovery folders

It is not clear to me whether the binaries will actually be updated in MacTeX. Usually they only update once per year, so you may not be able to see the update until May. 2020. Maybe there will be exception for asymptote this year given the huge improvements, that's hard to say (and might require some convincing of Karl + willingness of various volunteers to contribute new binaries). What I believe might be a problem in your case is the conflict in other TeX binaries between MacTeX and MacPorts....

John, M Twain never even mentioned the existence of MacPorts on his machine (and that's not the only package manager on macOS; judging from https://brewformulas.org/Asymptote it was apparently removed from the other most popular one; there are others which I didn't check). But to answer your "recall": it's not entirely correct. The packages are only installed from source when there's a reason for doing so, which is either a licence conflict (like git conflicting with openssl licence), non-default...

Oh, I didn't want to suggest to change the hardcoded values, let alone for Linux. My question was mainly whether there's some configure/build-time option that I could switch to change the default. But maybe it would be even better if the reasonable default would already be set in the code. Maybe something along the line of the following: --- a/src/qsynthOptions.cpp +++ b/src/qsynthOptions.cpp @@ -487,8 +487,13 @@ void qsynthOptions::loadSetup ( qsynthSetup *pSetup, const QString& sName ) pSetup->iAudioBufSize...

I need to change Midi -> Midi driver -> coremidi, as well as Audio -> Audio driver -> coreaudi. Is there any way to make these default when building the binary?

Thank you very much for the super quick fix. Regarding the icon: I'm not a designer or artist in any way. I could easily create the icon(s) or movie if I was given a povray source, or vectorize a low resolution black-and-white image, but not from a low resolution "3D-like" image. Unrelated problem though. I seem to be unable to run the program, see the notes at: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/4076 I'll open a new ticket, but I would like to know if you even have any chance whatsoever...
