I'm trying to add a dependency on a flavoured PHP application, but the Porter's Handbook
(section 7.3.1) instructions don't work. It says to just add "@${PHP_FLAVOR}"
but that's an empty variable.
I can't add php:flavors to the USES line because that then requires this port
be flavoured as if it were itself a PHP application (it's not, it's just a
metaport).
Adding "php" to USES works, but adds an unnecessary lang/php?? dependency.
What I need is the PHP counterpart to python:env, but I can't seem to find it?
The RUN_DEPENDS+= near line 271 of Mk/Uses/php.mk seems to always be executed.
It would be an excessive dependency if PHP was used as a script just for
building.
That's what this is about, isn't it? :)
It's for a metaport that wants to add a flavored PHP port to
RUN_DEPENDS; but yes, needing PHP as a BUILD_DEPEND would probably be
another example.
