When a port is installed, the variants you pass on the command line will be used in all dependent ports as well. > Mojca: I've grown the habit to use -n almost all the time to avoid unasked-for > upgrading ... but as shown above that doesn't always prevent all upgrading ... -n is considered harmful, because you will miss required rebuilds that *must* be done before a software can be used again. Passing -n for upgrade may well have caused your broken doxygen install. Please do not make using -n a habit unless you are very well aware of the risks and can identify and fix the fallout. -- Clemens Lang _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
