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.
I can't remember if this still is undocumented... and if I already
reported that this is missing to be documented.
Also can't remember where I found that it can look like this, most
likely underneith ports/Mk:
.if ${PORT_OPTIONS:MGITT}
RUN_DEPENDS= git:${PORTSDIR}/devel/git@tiny
.endif
It's from one of my local meta-ports.
As far as I remember, it worked as intended.
