Hernes" Sender: ports-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Is there a way to register a dependancy for building a port, but not for the binary package? for example, I've got a port of gcc for the 6811, the port requires bison to build, but once the package is done, bison is not required. If I add ``EXEC_DEPENDS= bison:${PORTSDIR}/devel/bison'' to the Makefile, `make package', and then pkg_add the package, pkg_add checks the dependancies, which it really doesn't need to do. maybe a BUILD_DEPENDS macro is needed. eric. -- erich@lodgenet.com erich@rrnet.com
