#52797: generate a relocatable xz executable --------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: RJVB | Owner: ryandesign Type: enhancement | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: haspatch Port: xz | --------------------------+------------------------ Comment (by RJVB): It's the only option I see at the moment that doesn't involve changing the base layer and that ensures there's always an xz command available to allow ports to be activated or installed from .tar.xz archives, even when updating port:xz itself. Well, the only option that doesn't have users do the copying themselves. The intention of this ticket is just to give an upbeat by sharing a patch to the automake source to build an additional, relocatable xz command. Or rather, one that doesn't depend on liblzma.dylib; getting rid of the libintl dependency properly (if not configuring with `--disable-nls`) requires the 2nd patch I'll be uploading. For some reason libintl.la is missing from port:gettext which means that just using `-static-libtool- libs` isn't enough. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52797#comment:3> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for macOS
