BUG: gd2 port has broken gdlib-config

[jon@…]

gdlib-config is used for providing listing linker options, which should be used by code linking against the GD libraries. It is broken, printing a path to a dynamic library "/opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib" where it should be printing a linker option "-liconv".

[jon@ridley ports]$ gdlib-config --libs -lXpm -lX11 -ljpeg -lfontconfig -lfreetype -lpng12 -lz /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib

This is using the darwinport graphics/gd2 2.0.28

Also, the Portfile for gd2 doesnt mention libiconv as a dependency. Perhaps it should.

gdlib-config now returns -liconv; the gd2 port has been updated since this bug and this bug is obsolete.

But I'm not sure about this. Should libiconv be added as a dependency?

After a little research I do not think libiconv should be a dependency. This bug can be closed.

Version 2.0.33 of gd2 still returns path to dynamic library rather than a linker option.
