Mecab's script modules fail to install with mecab-utf8/sjis.

[takanori@…]

Mecab's script modules (such as p5.12-mecab, py-mecab, py25-mecab and rb-mecab) cannot be installed properly unless the EUC-jp based mecab (i.e. port:mecab) is installed.

If mecab-utf8 or mecab-sjis is installed, it fails like the following.

$ sudo port install mecab-utf8
--->  Computing dependencies for mecab-utf8
--->  Dependencies to be installed: mecab-base mecab-ipadic-utf8

$ sudo port install p5.12-mecab

Error: Unable to execute port: Can't install mecab because conflicting ports are installed: mecab-utf8

A simple solution is to use lib:-style dependency instead of port:-style. For example, the following is a diff for rb-ruby Portfile:

How about this? I am ready to update mecab module ports.

I updated p5-mecab (r86833), py-mecab (r86834) and rb-mecab (r86835) to 0.98 (maintainer timeout). Then, I added rb19-mecab (r86837) and deleted py27-mecab (r86839). I specified the default mecab port to mecab-utf8, because test scripts are in UTF-8, not EUC-JP.

I am closing this ticket, but please feel free to reopen it if you have any problems.

A library for mecab is already installed in system directory /usr/lib/libmecab.dylib, and depends_lib is not effective at all. I fixed it to set "depends_lib-append bin:mecab-config:mecab-utf8" and committed in r86846.
