#38205: libvpx: configure failure --------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: vgmbabbab@… | Owner: jeremyhu@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: libvpx | --------------------------+------------------------ Comment (by ryandesign@…): Replying to [comment:8 egall@…]:
Edit: gegl actually lists ffmpeg as an optional dependency, not a needed one: http://www.gegl.org/#_dependencies
Perhaps the port for gegl could have its ffmpeg dependency moved to a variant? According to the link, libopenraw, libsdl, jpeg, openexr, and librsvg are also all optional dependencies; perhaps all of them could be moved to one big `+optional_dependencies` variant or something?
Just because an upstream project considers some dependencies to be optional does not mean that we will necessarily make them optional in MacPorts. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38205#comment:9> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
