eggdbus-0.6 Build error - xsltproc failure

[diegotheblind+macports@…]

Building eggdubs fails at the man section, because xsltproc cannot fetch a docbook.xsl file online.

Making all in man
/opt/local/bin/xsltproc -nonet http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl eggdbus-binding-tool.xml
I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl
warning: failed to load external entity "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl"

make[3]: *** [eggdbus-binding-tool.1] Error 4

I found a solution: installing the docbook-xsl port fixes the issues and building doesn't fail anymore; maybe it should be added as a dependency?

Added dependency in r70866.

Why depends_lib? What does it do with xslt at runtime?

[devans@…]

You're right. It should be a build dependency. Used for generating man pages during build. If not present man pages are disabled.

Same for docbook-xsl

moved to depends_build in r70905.
