LIB_DEPENDS currently requires "\\." instead of the simpler "." because in the lib_depends: target, the string is passed to grep and the "." therefore needs to be escaped. This produces bogus output such as the following: ===> ssh-1.2.12.92 depends on shared library: z\.0\. - not found ===> Verifying build for z\.0\. in /usr/ports/devel/libz Since there is no need to handle regular expressions for the purpose intended here, would it not make better sense to use fgrep instead of grep and do away with this extra complication and bogosity? -- Adam David <adam@veda.is>
