With LIB_DEPENDS you can request a .so library, which is looked for in
paths returned by `ldconfig -r | head`.
LIB_DEPENDS= libfoo.so.123:devel/libfoo
With {BUILD,RUN,TEST}_DEPENDS you can request
- an executable in the $PATH, like BUILD_DEPENDS=git:devel/git
- any file by an absolute path, like
BUILD_DEPENDS=${LOCALBASE}/include/some_header_only_lib.hpp
- a package of a given version, like
BUILD_DEPENDS=pkgname>1.2.3:devel/pkgname
