phonon @4.4.2 Configure error - glib2 required

[emanuel@…]

I'm running MacOS 10.6.4 and Xcode 3.2.4.

I get a build error while configuring phonon (r72588).

I started with a clean system (no macports installed):

1. MacPorts 1.9.1 installed
   
2. sudo selfupdate
   
3. sudo port install phonon

Test: Install glib2 and try to install phonon again:

4. sudo port install glib2
   
5. sudo port install phonon

=> phonon is installed successfully!

Good catch, thanks!

Fixed in r72872.

I don't quite understand the big picture here, but I'll just make a few simple remark. Just re-close the bug if you feel that's the way to deal with my comment

So glib2 is a deps of phonon, now. That's a huge one. I was said it is for the pulseaudio backend. But the pulseaudio package is not a deps of phonon. So the backend is compiled but never used ? how could it be if no pulseaudio is installed ? is there a native one ?

Could you deactivate the pulseaudio support ? and remove glib2 deps ?

or at least that glib2 would not be compiled if it is not needed on 32-bits if quicktime backend could be used ?

Removed the lib dep in r84347, since it really isn't used at runtime. This doesn't buy you much though as pkgconfig still depends on glib2.
