I see, this is pretty sneaky, there's hardly a reason for you to apologize. Yes, I do have exiv2 installed, so that would explain (as others already reported). By the way - as for the mandatory dependency (though I personally am always in favor of those - makes things unified and easier to maintain), I'd say an optional dependency would fare better with the rest of the current gegl options (optional JPEG, etc). So making exiv2 optional and patching configure to handle it properly would be the cleanest approach, I guess? I've quickly checked configure and the detection looks pretty ordinary as it is now, but atm I don't have enought time to trace it over every single step, so who knows... Might be just a case of typo somewhere in there? m. -- Michal Varga, Stonehenge (Gmail account) _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
