#44588: libpurple: add perl dependency --------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: ionic@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Keywords: haspatch tracemode | Port: libpurple --------------------------------+-------------------------------- Both `libpurple` and `pidgin` can be built with `perl` support, providing a means of scripting of the protocol/networking or UI portion (c.f. [https://developer.pidgin.im/doxygen/dev2.x.y/html/perl-howto.html the pidgin developer documentation]). Perl support is currently enabled for `pidgin`, but not `libpurple`. The `configure` script bails out if `perl` was not explicitly disabled but unavailable, leading to a build error in `trace mode`. `devans` is in favor of unconditionally enabling Perl support. I am backing this decision. This patch moves `perl5.16` to a common dependency of both `pidgin` and `libpurple`. Revbump on libpurple to account for that change, even for users not using `trace mode`, as the possibility of users only installing `libpurple` but not `pidgin` exists and those might be missing `perl5.16`. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44588> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
