I want to install the port of lcdf-typetools. It depends on texlive-bin. And texlive-bin in turn depends on texlive-common.

I do _not_ want to use macports to install any components of texlive whatsoever, as I already have a complete, working installation of texlive on my OS X Mac via the MacTeX 2011 distribution.

Two questions:

(1) Exactly what do I need to change in the lcdf-typetools portfile to delete the dependency? The relevant portion is:

  default_variants +texlive

  variant texlive conflicts ptex description {Link against TeXLive's
                                              libkpathsea} {
    depends_lib-append port:texlive-bin
    configure.args-delete --without-kpathsea
    configure.args-append --with-kpathsea=${prefix}
}

Do I merely delete the line "depends_lib-append..."? And then what do the following two lines there do?

(2) What, exactly, if anything, do I need to do, if anything, to tell macports, in macports.conf, where my installation of texlive is?

My $PATH already includes the location of texlive binaries, namely:

  /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-darwin
