#19751: subversion +no_bdb still requires Berkeley DB -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: com-macosforge@… | Owner: dluke@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: | Port: subversion -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by dluke@…): Replying to [comment:7 blair@…]:
I'm not going to do that to serf. That implies I need to implement all these variants that apr-util has
only if the resulting serf links against those libraries an alternative would be to fix serf to not link against libraries it doesn't need.
The real solution is to have MacPorts scan the port's *.dylib and: a) add those files to the files that the port provides b) add the otool -L output on those *dylib that are not provided by the port to the port's requirements.
A patch to base to do this would be nice, but I would guess that many people would say that even if port could auto-detect these kinds of dependencies, they should still be declared in the portfile. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19751#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
