Good to know.
I don't know you're the right person to ask this,
but how about adding that info to MacPorts FAQ?
I think many people's been wondering what macosx is.
I don't understand it either. I thought the platform keyword was
used to
do that stuff, not variants.
I agree. Looks like the wording "platform macosx" is used in 12
ports, while "variant macosx" is only used in php4, php5 and
libsdl_mixer-framework. I guess I should change it to "platform macosx."
And doesn't osx = darwin? Wouldn't it be
better to use the 'platform dawin' statement? When would osx <>
darwin?
Mac OS X ≠ Darwin when someone goes and downloads the Darwin source
from Apple and installs it on a generic PC, for example.
http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/
Darwin is a command-line OS that is free and available from the Apple
web site. Mac OS X is Darwin plus the Aqua interface and can be
purchased for $129.
