gnuplot: undeclared dependency on emacs

Reported by: drkp (Dan Ports) Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.9.2

Port: gnuplot

Description

gnuplot's autoconf script checks for an installed version of emacs and uses it to build gnuplot-mode.el. It shouldn't do that without declaring a dependency on emacs. Better would be to separate gnuplot-mode into a separate port or variant to keep from bloating gnuplot's dependency list gratuitously.

My suggestion would be to add a flag --without-lisp-files by default and define a variant +emacs that would add a dependency on (any) emacs and remove --without-list-files. (I see that there are several emacs around.) I never cared about that particular setting. It usually either works or doesn't work and never does any harm if some extra files are generated or not.
