#40503: gettext @0.18.3.1_0: using autoconf creates circular dependency chain ------------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: ksee.zelgadis@… | Owner: larryv@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: gettext | ------------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@…): Replying to [comment:12 larryv@…]:
I don’t suppose you know why the [[source:trunk/dports/devel/gettext/files/patch-gettext-tools- Makefile.in@19673|gettext-tools/Makefile.in patch]] was created? Doesn’t seem like it does anything important. I’d rather get rid of the patch altogether, if possible.
I think it prevents gettext from building the tests and examples? Presumably this was done to save time, since I guess the tests and examples don't end up getting used. Or maybe 7 years ago when the patch was added there was an error building the tests and examples. If it doesn't increase the build time significantly you can remove the patch. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40503#comment:13> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
