perhaps you're using the wrong tool...

MacPorts is (according to the website):

"an open-source community initiative to design an easy-to-use system for compiling, installing, and upgrading either command-line, X11 or Aqua based open-source software on the Mac OS X operating system."

No where do I see "support for commercial development" as something the project claims to be targeting.

Maybe MacPorts is good for that, maybe you can contribute fixes (or at least bug reports) to help make it useful there.

Or you can complain that it doesn't work they way you want it to and threaten to go away. I don't think that's a useful way to motivate volunteers to help you, but you are of course free to try whatever you think will work.

I've made the problems known to you guys. handle them as you wish. I'm resigned to eventually going back to manually building my libs as I don't see this project as having a significant future.
