#17008: gtk2 port incorrectly advises users to make a symlink ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: jeremyhu@freedesktop.org | Owner: nox@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: gtk2 | ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment(by jeremyhu@freedesktop.org): Isn't the policy that Macports uses its own libraries unless those libraries are supplied by OSX? We've had issues reported to the x11-users mailing list multiple times over the past year while I've been maintaining X11, and frequently it comes down to their using a Macports lib over one included with X11. Based on your earlier comment, I'm guessing this is partly due to lack of maintainers. I just now tried to pull in some X11 packages and they fail because of the xmkmf removal and the old version of autoconf used to build configure in the package (those packages just need you to 'reautoconf' or pass '--x-include=/usr/X11/include --x-lib=/usr/X11/lib' to configure. I'd be willing to help out with some of these packages if maintainership is the issue... -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17008#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
