Dear all,
I have a question regarding BUILD_DEPENDS.
The manual in bsd.port.mk tells:
# BUILD_DEPENDS - A list of "path:dir[:target]" tuples of other ports this
# package depends to build (between the
"extract" and
# "build" stages, inclusive). The test
done to
# determine the existence of the
dependency is the
# same as FETCH_DEPENDS. If the third
field ("target")
# exists, it will be used instead of
${DEPENDS_TARGET}.
So if I understood it correctly, it should only be used between the
extract and build phase but should not be recorded as a dependency if
the package is installed with pkg?
But it seems that pkg is pulling the BUILD_DEPENDS while installing the
package.
Clear example is this one:
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/devel/gitlab-shell/Makefile#n12
How can I define a build dependency that is required to build the port
but is not installed with the port?
Thanks.
Gruß
Matthias
