dsniff-devel 2.4b1_2 fails to depend on xorg-libXmu

[russm-trac-macports-org@…]

xorg-libXmu is required in order to build dsniff-devel 2.4b1_2 but is not depended upon in the Portfile, so "port install dsniff-devel" fails with a build error unless xorg-libXmu has previously been installed.

in case it matters, system is 10.6.1 with Xcode 3.2

Hello russm,
My system is 10.6.1 with Xcode 3.2

~$ port installed|grep "xorg-libXmu"
~$ port installed|grep "dsniff-devel"
  dsniff-devel @2.4b1_2+darwin_10 (active)

Can you post the complete build log ?

Replying to hsivank@…:

~$ port installed|grep "xorg-libXmu"
~$ port installed|grep "dsniff-devel"

I didn't save it, but it was a plain ld error that libXmu couldn't be found. I suspect that (depending on your environment settings) your webspy may be linked against the system libXmu instead of the macports one. "otool -L /opt/local/sbin/webspy" will show which libraries you've linked against.

Dsniff-devel configure itself without libXmu if it doesn't find X development libraries ... in this this way webspy is not build

I think it will be a good idea to add a no_x11 variant cause some people (like me!) doesn't want to have dependencies on X libs.
