#14540: Document -devel ports -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: markd@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Website & Documentation Component: guide | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by ryandesign@…): Replying to [ticket:14540 ryandesign@…]:
* ports that depend on ports where both -devel and non-devel versions exist should depend on them in such a way that either port will satisfy the dependency. For example, instead of depending on "`port:mysql5`" (mysql5 would satisfy that dependency but mysql5-devel would not), depend on "`path:${prefix}/bin/mysql_config5`" (both mysql5 and mysql5-devel would satisfy that dependency).
There were two bugs in the above: the correct dependency statement would be "`path:bin/mysql_config5:mysql5`" -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/14540#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
