pkgconf is x86_64-only? #9

Open barracuda156 opened 3 months ago

barracuda156 commented 3 months ago

Why pkgconf is set to supported_archs x86_64?

RJVB commented 3 months ago

Probably because it was set that way in the Portfile I based this one on. Is it used for anything other than controlling +universal builds?

barracuda156 commented 3 months ago

It just refuses to try installing, complaining about being x86-only.

Ah, indeed, even 2.7.1 already had a reject feature. It's a bit stupid that no override exists for this. I'll add one, but in the meantime just comment out the offending line.

BTW, pkgconf is one of those ports that have no clear use; I probably made it because some other piece of software I wanted to try (and never made it to getting a port) needed it.

I thought to install it in place of pkgconfig, since MacPorts supports that, and pkgconfig fails to build on riscv (well, by default at least, I did not get to fixing it yet).

I'm not certain pkgconf is a perfect drop-in replacement of pkgconfig . How does MP allow using another implementation, you mean the path:-style depspec mechanism? That only works if an alternative port installs an alternative version of the required resources.

But did you notice the runtime dependency of pkgconf? ;)
