Re: Why does qt5-qttools depends on clang 9?

[Chris Jones]

Hi,

Quickly looking into things it looks like the python dep clang has is 
largely redundant. Its needed only on OSes where the system version is 
'too old' which means darwin < 11. Most systems can (and in fact if you 
check the build config, do) use the system python anyway.


So I think the python dep. can be removed for the majority of (not 
ancient) systems.


cheers Chris

figure out why.


Thanks a bunch,

Isn't the answer to this on line 1491 in the Portfile ?
