This is the example for ports/graphics/gd.
.if defined(IGNORE_SHLIB_VER)
LIB_DEPENDS= jpeg:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/jpeg \
png:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/png \
freetype:${PORTSDIR}/print/freetype2
.else
LIB_DEPENDS= jpeg.9:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/jpeg \
png.5:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/png \
freetype.8:${PORTSDIR}/print/freetype2
.endif
