Hi,
following is from 4.7.1:
4.7.1 LIB_DEPENDS
This variable specifies the shared libraries this port depends
on. It is a list of lib:dir[:target] tuples where lib is the name
of the shared library, dir is the directory in which to find it in
case it is not available, and target is the target to call in that
directory. For example,
LIB_DEPENDS= jpeg.9:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/jpeg:install
will check for a shared jpeg library with major version 9, and
descend into the graphics/jpeg subdirectory of your ports tree to
build and install it if it is not found. The target part can be
omitted if it is equal to DEPENDS_TARGET (which defaults to
install).
Note: The lib part is an argument given to ldconfig -r | grep
-wF. There shall be no regular expressions in this variable.
Now, the last paragraph about how the lib part is handled is wrong. By
looking at the bsd.port.mk makefile:
if ${LDCONFIG} -r | ${GREP} -qwE -e "-l$$pattern"; then \
so actually the variable can be a regex.
Please fix the documentation
