#21982: Taglib should not use kde4 portgroup
-----------------------------------------+----------------------------------
Reporter: singingwolfboy@… | Owner: rmsfisher@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 1.8.1
Keywords: | Port: taglib
-----------------------------------------+----------------------------------
The kde4 portgroup is used for installing KDE ports. However, taglib is
not actually a KDE project, even though its maintained by the KDE
developers. From the taglib homepage:
{{{
TagLib is not toolkit specific - while TagLib does use KDE-style
programming conventions and C++ by default, it does not link to
either Qt or Glib (in fact it has no external dependancies) and
does provide Glib-style C bindings (currently for the generic API only)
}}}
Therefore, it should not use the kde4 portgroup. Setting this portgroup
pulls in automoc and qt4-mac as dependencies -- in particular, qt4-mac is
a HUGE port that is completely unnecessary. It also displays several error
messages if you try to install it without having qt4-mac installed.
Perhaps taglib should use the cmake portgroup instead.
