mpfr 2.4.0 and lzma (lzmautils)

[garribald@…]

The first attempt to upgrade mpfr ended like this:

book:~ test$ sudo port upgrade mpfr
Password:
--->  Fetching mpfr
--->  Attempting to fetch mpfr-2.4.0.tar.lzma from http://trd.no.distfiles.macports.org/mpfr/2.4.0
--->  Attempting to fetch mpfr-2.4.0.tar.lzma from http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-2.4.0/
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for mpfr
Error: Target org.macports.extract returned: Failed to locate 'lzma' in path: '/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin'
Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1

Then I grabbed the port lzmautils and the installation of mpfr was unproblematic.

I don't know, if there is a better lzma port out there for making a dependency, but IMHO some check should be made, whether lzma is installed or not and in need to grab the relevant port for expanding mpfr (if that one really has to be in the lzma flavor).

MacPorts 1.7, Tiger 10.4.11

Right, this dependency needs to be added:

depends_build bin:lzma:lzmautils

Fixed in r46101.

BTW, I thought that "use_lzma yes" would imply this dependency in MacPorts rules.

Replying to vinc17@…:

It will (as of r43782 on trunk) in 1.8.
