I *do not* "assume that depends_run means 'only depends on programs’”. My proposal is that depends_lib means a port links with a library. Therefore, using depends_run instead means a port does not link with a library. > In other words, for this to work, depends_lib doesn't just mean "I link to a > library provided by this port" but "I link to, or load a library or plugin > provided by this port." No, my proposal is that depends_lib means it links with a library. If a port loads a library at runtime, that would be depends_run. Perhaps that’s unintuitive. I guess I’m redefining depends_lib to be more “depends_link”. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
