#37420: ncurses: snow leopard binary missing pkgconfig files ---------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: jmr@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Resolution: | Keywords: haspatch Port: ncurses | ---------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@…): The intention, if not the current functioning, of the configure script seems to be to only install the .pc files if pkgconfig is detected. Adding the pkgconfig dependency would satisfy that, even if the pkgconfig program itself is not actually needed to build ncurses. While we should of course avoid unnecessary dependencies, I wouldn't feel too bad about adding a pkgconfig dependency, since pkgconfig is needed by so many other ports anyway. Alternately, you could write and maintain forever a patch against the configure script to always install the .pc files, if you prefer to take on that burden. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37420#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
