Because that fails horribly for the reasons I mentioned in my previous email.... Additionally, there is no standard way to really check what versions of bits are on a particular system. You can grep .la files, .pc files, check the version number in the dylib, check output from 'someapp --version' ... that is too hacky and cumbersome to be reliable. We'd rather put effort into something that is worth it. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
