Qt4 used to behave as you suggest. It was changed in r44200 (http://trac.macports.org/changeset/44200/trunk/dports/aqua/qt4-mac/Portfile). Some of the variants were removed because they were needed by other packages (r44200 lists them). In addition, having all these variants made the port much harder to maintain. -Marcus _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
