#33437: zlib @1.2.6_0 Use system zlib? -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: computers57@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: request | Status: new Priority: Low | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.4 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- I am curious why MacPorts doesn't use more system libraries. I was surprised when it installed Perl, libffi, ncurses, and libiconv. Doesn't Mac OS X already have those libraries? Why build our own? Are the Apple- supplied versions out-of-date or incomplete? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/33437> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
