yafc does not find/install readline

[kyle-opendarwinbugzilla@…]

I tried installing yafc and discovered that it does not link to libreadline. Here is the output of otool -L:

/opt/local/bin/yafc:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Kerberos.framework/Versions/A/Kerberos (compatibility version

5.0.0, current version 5.0.0)

/usr/lib/libncurses.5.4.dylib (compatibility version 5.4.0, current version 5.4.0) /usr/lib/libmx.A.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 92.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 88.0.0)

Oddly enough, the yafc Portfile does contain:

depends_lib lib:libreadline:readline

But the readline package is not installed on my computer, and port did not think it necessary to install it. What gives?

looks like a problem in the dependency engine; (and btw. a command line ftp-client w/o readline support sucks)

I think the problem is that tiger has a libreadline that satisfies the port's dependency, but somehow yafc doesn't link against the system readline... the port could be made to depend on dp readline, this would solve the problem.

good idea - will enforce usage of dp's readline

done! :)
