#52041: go-1.4 @1.4.3_0: build fails on Sierra ----------------------+----------------------------- Reporter: chris@… | Owner: ciserlohn@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: sierra haspatch Port: go-1.4 | ----------------------+----------------------------- Comment (by ethansherriff@…): Replying to [comment:15 ryandesign@…]:
Doesn't it already do that? It has a runtime dependency on go-1.4, so if go-1.4 is not yet installed, it will be installed first. (Granted, it should be a library dependency, not a runtime dependency, since it is also needed at build time, not just at runtime).
`go` (from versions 1.5 upwards) only depends on `go-1.4` if being built from source, and this is only a build time dependancy. What I meant to say was that, if someone installs `go` and removes `go-1.4`, `go-1.4` would be (unnecessarily) reinstalled if the `go` port needed to be upgraded. Either way, this is beyond the scope of this ticket and my patch is working, so I'd be very grateful you would check (and hopefully) approve it. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52041#comment:26> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for macOS
