Why oxygen-icons port requires qt4-mac & phonon?

Hi Nicolas & Michael,

ah, I see, the kde port group… That explains it.

Hmm... ok…

I see your point there!
I wanted to abuse it for the KDE/CI system which I am trying to set up using MacPorts.
(There I need just the icons without qt4-mac or anything else.)
It would have been nice if the icons wouldn’t need any dependencies, as Harald
Fernengel managed to use them as well on Homebrew without extra deps.

But I won’t object if you are reluctant to change anything there.

Greets,
Marko
