#17008: gtk2 port incorrectly advises users to make a symlink ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: jeremyhu@freedesktop.org | Owner: nox@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: gtk2 | ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment(by mcalhoun@macports.org): All I have to go on is the documentation (http://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#WhyisMacPortsusingitsownlibraries), but the rule seems to be:[[BR]] use MacPorts libraries unless there is a good reason not to.[[BR]] An exempt port might be, e.g., Kerberos (#14775). X11 seems to be somewhere in the middle.[[BR]] Of the ports which depend on xrender, only two (gtk2 and teg) use 'lib:libXrender:xrender'. [[BR]] The rest use 'port:xrender'. As for the lack of xmkmf, I ran into the same problem when I tried to install Xaw3d.[[BR]] I wrote an imake package, but I have not submitted it yet. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17008#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
