Is there a way for me to do something like:
path:lib/pkgconfig/x11.pc:xorg-libX11
but have that dependency satisfied by /usr/X11/lib/pkgconfig/x11.pc ?
Hmm.
In path:-style dependencies, you specify the absolute path to the
file you require. The path:-style dependency is for when you know
exactly the path to the file you want, but there are multiple ports
that can provide it and you don't care which one. If you specify a
path that is not absolute (does not begin with a slash), ${prefix} is
prepended, as a convenience. See the _pathtest procedure here:
http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/base/src/macports1.0/macports.tcl
bin:-style dependencies check for a binary anywhere in $PATH (not the
user's $PATH, but the $PATH that's set while MacPorts is running,
which is configured by the binpath variable in macports.conf). See
the _bintest procedure in the same tcl file above.
lib:-style dependencies check for a library anywhere in various
library directories. See the _libtest procedure.
If you want to depend on a particular pkgconfig file but don't care
whether X11 or MacPorts provides it, we may need (I can't believe I'm
saying this) a new pkgconfig:-style of dependency that searches the
various pkgconfig directories.
Or perhaps you can instead depend on a binary or a library.
