[MacPorts] #37681: gettext opportunistically links with libunistring
#37681: gettext opportunistically links with libunistring --------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Keywords: | Port: gettext --------------------------+-------------------------- Jeff noted in comment:ticket:37416:19 that gettext will (since version 0.18.1) opportunistically link with libunistring, which can cause a destroot failure if libunistring is installed non-universal when trying to build gettext universal (because muniversal cannot merge the .la files). I was not familiar with libunistring but it sounds like a useful library and a good idea for gettext to be using it. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37681> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Joshua [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail /macports-dev/2013-January/021682.html pointed out] that libunistring is under a more restrictive license than gettext, which adversely affects the distributability of some ports depending on gettext. Also, gettext has an included copy of libunistring that it can use (just as it has included copies of glib, libcroco and libxml that we already use). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37681#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
