#15780 closed defect (wontfix)

cairo 1.6.4 depends on libpixman >= 0.10.0

Description

Doing an install, building cairo failed because I already had libpixman 0.9.5_0 installed, and the cairo port only depends on libpixman (not on the version number). The actual cairo package requires 0.10.0 though:

   checking for pixman... no
   configure: error: pixman >= 0.10.0 is required

Upgrading libpixman explicitly solved the problem.

I don't think there's a lot we can do about this with the current dependency engine.

Ports in MacPorts don't depend on specific versions of other libraries. There's no syntax for that. Ports only dependo n other ports.

libpixman should have shown up in "port outdated" and you should "port upgrade libpixman" first.
