The corresponding section in `tools/faust2appls/Makefile` is actually looking for a proprietary piece of software (Steinberg's VST SDK) outside the MacPorts tree. This can't really be avoided in this case, since the included `faust2faustvst` script needs that software, which has a proprietary license prohibiting redistribution and thus can't simply be added as a dependency in MacPorts.
Are we sure that the VST SDK cannot be added as a port in MacPorts? Adding a portfile to MacPorts does not necessitate that we redistribute anything. We can prevent binary distribution by specifying a restrictive license in the portfile, and we can prevent source distribution by adding the port's name to the exclusion list in the server's mirroring script. We've done these things for other ports before. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51054#comment:7> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
