Just because a dep is only needed at runtime doesn't necessarily mean its archs don't have to match. For example, some programs will use dlopen to load a library and not require it to be present at build time. In this case it sounds like you should perhaps mark freetype-infinality as noarch. - Josh _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
