#27893: add pangocairo variant for gnuplot -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: ejtttje@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: | Port: gnuplot -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment(by jpo@…): +1 to include the cairo dependency in the port (and not as a variant) <pdf biased> If you have to run gnuplot in heterogeneous systems, and in particular macosx and linux ones, this makes a lot of sense as most common linux distros don't have pdflib-lite in their main repos due to licensing problems. This meant that the gnuplot packages avaialble in their main repos didn't supported the pdf terminal. But more recently, gnuplot 4.4 is able to offer a pdf terminal via the cairo library (pdfcairo), which enables more recent linux distros (e.g. Fedora 14) to ship a gnuplot with a pdf terminal built-in. </pdf biased> -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27893#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
