#17963: m4: uses git though no dependency declared -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: blair@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: | Port: m4 -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- m4 uses git during the destroot phase, but doesn't declare a dependency on git: {{{ DEBUG: Executing org.macports.destroot (m4) DEBUG: Environment: MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET='10.5' DEBUG: Assembled command: 'cd "/mp/var/macports/build/_Users_rschmidt_macports_dports_devel_m4/work/m4-1.4.12" && make install DESTDIR=/mp/var/macports/build/_Users_rschmidt_macports_dports_devel_m4/work/destroot' build-aux/git-version-gen: line 132: 20702 Trace/BPT trap git status > /dev/null 2>&1 make install-recursive Making install in . make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. [snip] }}} git crashes, then the install succeeds. (My git is crashing for an unrelated reason. I have forcibly uninstalled many ports, including one of git's dependencies, and am in the process of reinstalling them.) Does m4 really need to use git during destroot? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17963> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
