inventor fails to link on Leopard

[cssdev]

According to email, the Open Inventor port fails to link when building on Mac OS X Leopard:

bash-3.2# port install inventor +imagelib
--->  Building inventor with target all
Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_inventor/work/inventor" && make all " returned error 2
Command output: make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [ppp] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 1

Apple's ​QA1567 indicates that this error results from finding duplication OpenGL libraries. Consider adding the following line to the linker command:

-dylib_file \
/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib:\
/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib

Due to the way that the port builds, this change might require diving into the complex series of patches.

I realized this morning that the port probably needs to only depend on dlcompat when building on pre-Tiger systems, since those functions are now built into Mac OS X.

As of r44641, inventor now builds on Leopard. See #17568 for more information, but I'm marking this bug closed.
