#21789: Mapnik dependencies -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: distributed@… | Owner: dbsgeo@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.1 Keywords: | Port: py26-mapnik -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by dbsgeo@…): Yes, this is a known issue, and is due to the lacking support in macports for specifying variants. Ideally the boost port would be broken out into one port per boost library, so that a port like 'py26-boost' or 'libboost-python' could be selected. This would also make it much easier to rollback and re-install when the chronic problem of #21444 occurs (without having to wait for the whole boost port to re-compile, just to try to properly link libboost_python). As far as your idea of trying to warn the user that their py26-mapnik build will fail, that would definitely be a step forward but does not address the main issue. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21789#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
