* From: Kris Kennaway <kkennawa@physics.adelaide.edu.au> * Because glib11-devel could be anything from 1.1.4 up to 1.1.16 (well, I think * the library version number may have been bumped once or twice to break up that * space) and if it's too old (read: not equal to the version of gtk11-devel * you're installing) the dependency check will pass, but it with either not * compile, or compile but give weird runtime problems. That's what LIB_DEPENDS should take care of. :) * I think ports like this where the developers frequently break backwards * compatability within the same minor version number should have their library * version bumped for each release - e.g. glib-1.1.16 has libglib11-devel.so.16, * etc. That solves the dependency problem.. That's a very good idea. People can clearly see it's a "devel" version too. Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
