#31001: swi-prolog, swi-prolog-devel, swi-prolog-lite: remove expat dependency on darwin 9 -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: J.Wielemaker@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.1 Keywords: haspatch | Port: swi-prolog, swi-prolog-devel, swi-prolog-lite -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- In r31733 for #13461 a dependency on expat was added to swi-prolog for darwin 9 only. The title of the ticket says this was done "to fix build on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard". The same was done for swi-prolog-devel in r42976 for #16964, and for swi-prolog-lite in r63856 for #23155. I don't understand why it would need expat only on darwin 9, but not on darwin 8, darwin 10 or darwin 11. I just now installed the current version of swi-prolog on Leopard. The machine did have expat installed, but looking through the log, I see no mention of expat or xmlwf being used, and the installed files don't appear to be linked to libexpat. I also grepped the swi-prolog source and find no occurrences of "xmlwf". There are a few occurrences of "expat" but they either merely refer to the expat license, or are Mac OS X / MacPorts-specific documentation stating that expat is a dependency, without elaborating why. Can this dependency be removed or is there some hidden use of expat exclusively on darwin 9 that I'm not seeing? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31001> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
