#71751: libsdl2-powerpc @2.30.10: forces a runtime dependency on xorg-server-legacy
which is not supported on Tiger PPC
--------------------+-----------------------------
Reporter: kencu | Owner: barracuda156
Type: defect | Status: assigned
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version:
Keywords: | Port: libsdl2-powerpc
--------------------+-----------------------------
the libsdl2-powerpc port contains this block, forcing {{{xorg-server-
legacy}}} on powerpc systems:
{{{
#!tcl
# xorg-server does not build presently on any PowerPC macOS.
depends_run-append port:xorg-server-legacy
}}}
However, {{{xorg-server-legacy}}} does not presently build on MacOSX Tiger
PPC. This prevents the installation of several ports on Tiger PPC,
including codeblocks-devel and others.
Tiger PPC is a supported MacPorts installation.
On Tiger, {{{xorg-server-1.18}}} is the currently building Xserver.
MacPorts has previously set a policy of not forcing the use of any Xserver
in a Portfile.
If this runtime dependency is to be kept, it should at least by a file-
type dependency to allow {{{xorg-server-1.18}}} to satisfy the dependency.
