I'm working on a port that has an option for a build_depends on another
port. If that option is selected, the dependent port MUST be built with
an option that is not selected by default.
Is there a way to either force that option to be selected in the
dependent port? Or, failing that, is it possible to pop up a message
warning the installer that they must select that option before building
the dependent port or, if they've already installed it without the
option, they must deinstall and reinstall after selecting that option?
I'd suggest to make a slave port where you force the required option.
However, to enforce the right dependency, this option have to produce a
different plist.
Thanks. I think that's probably the right answer.
