I am trying to write a portfile for some software but I want to make sure that a particular variant of a dependency is installed. Is there some way that I can specify the variant within the portfile that I want to use? WOuld something like:
depends_lib port:otherport+variantname
work? (I'm away from the computer that is doing this at the moment so I can't experiment). If not, then I'll have to think of some other way of achieving my goal.
Thanks

Sorry, this is not possible at the moment. Specifying variants in dependencies has been debated somewhat with no agreement. ! ! Jyrki Wahlstedt ! http://www.wahlstedt.fi/jyrki/ ! !
