That seems reasonable... but a program that uses say ImageMagick at runtime might check at build time that ImageMagick is present, which would require the following dependencies: depends_build port:ImageMagick depends_run port:ImageMagick And for some time we've taken the view that a dependency specified in depends_build and depends_run should instead be in depends_lib. Perhaps we should not have been doing this. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
