I just have a question: does the line {{{ depends_build path:bin/perl:perl5 }}} implies that the perl5 port will be installed ? If yes, isn't it a bit overkill ? pod2XXX are in /usr/bin (at least on Leopard, can't say on Tiger). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17623#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

In this particular case, the system tools would almost certainly suffice, but MacPorts has a[[BR]] pretty strict [http://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#WillMacPortslinktosystemlibrariesrathertha... policy] of using using its own tools and libraries.[[BR]] There are only a few exceptions (X11 for example).

The policy you are referring to is about libraries, not about tools for what I understood. For libraries, I totally agree the ''MacPorts own libraries'' policy. But in this particular case, these are tools (perl scripts specifically) that are installed on the system, and perl is itself installed on the system too. I have personally installed perl with MacPorts, but I think about other people who just want to install upx thinking it should take about one minute or two and they must wait one hour because perl is installed.[[BR]] Could someone on Tiger and someone on Pather confirm that the '''pod2man''', '''pod2text''' and '''pod2html''' are installed on these systems so that we could remove this annoying dependency ? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17623#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

'''<filename> is relative to ${prefix}'''.''[[BR]] I understand that this mean /usr/bin won't be searched for <filename>, only /opt/local/bin. Am I correct or it the MacPorts Guide not accurate ?[[BR]] If /usr/bin is not searched for pod2(man|text|html), then the patch is useless and perl will be installed anyway. If /usr/bin is searched for pod2(man|text|html), then please go ahead with the patch. :-) -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17623#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

bin:pod2(...):perl5 should look in /usr/bin for the binary files.

OK, thanks for the clarification. Maybe the guide should be rephrased to something like this ?[[BR]] [[BR]] File dependencies are specifed in the form: <type>:<filename>:<port>. <filename> is relative to ${prefix}, except when <type> is bin. In this case, <filename> is searched in the PATH environment variable. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17623#comment:10> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Oops, it seems you did a copy-paste error, there is two times pod2html instead of pod2html and pod2man.

Thanks for the catch.[[BR]] Fixed in r43684.[[BR]] I'll get this right one of these days (quite a bit of effort on a closed ticket). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17623#comment:12> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
