[MacPorts] #43942: PuTTY variant without gui tools (to avoid the gtk dependency)
#43942: PuTTY variant without gui tools (to avoid the gtk dependency) ---------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: shadow.mp@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.0 Keywords: putty gtk2 puttygen | Port: putty ---------------------------------+-------------------------------- Right now, maports only allows to install PuTTY in full. This includes the GUI utilities (like putty itself) along with some CLI utils (such as puttygen), but requires gtk2 to build and run. My guess is that most people installing PuTTY on OSX would do so just to be able to convert PuTTY keys (.ppk) to standard OpenSSH-readable keys. This conversion can be done using the puttygen cli tool alone. PuTTY includes support for compiling only the CLI tools, avoiding the GTK2 dependence. Hence, we could add a variant that skips building the GUI tools and thus does not depend on GTK2. The attached patch creates such variant (without making it the default and thus without breaking backwards-compatibility I think). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43942> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
