Hi, I recently contributed a port for tuxmath. It uses gettext and iconv for i18n, as well as SDL and friends. The currently listed dependencies are as follows: depends_lib port:libsdl \ port:libsdl_image \ port:libsdl_mixer \ port:libsdl_ttf \ port:gettext I'm wondering if I need to list gettext - it is not needed for "./configure; make; make install" for my package. Gettext is needed to run a "make dist" on tuxmath, but that isn't part of the MacPorts install process, so I don't think gettext is needed as either a "depends_lib" or "depends_build". At runtime, tuxmath does need both gettext and iconv, but they seem to be included with Leopard itself. However, I can't say for sure if they were present before I installed XCode. I take it that Portfiles do not need to list standard system libraries as dependencies - do gettext and iconv fall into this category? If so, I plan to just eliminate gettext from my list of dependencies. Thanks, -- David Bruce
