[PATCH] Add no_program_prefix variant and depend upon gettext

[blair (Blair Zajac)]

If you install gettext before you install findutils, then the gnufind binary will link against libiconv's and gettext's libraries.

$ otool -L /opt/local/bin/gnufind
/opt/local/bin/gnufind:
        /opt/local/lib/libintl.8.dylib (compatibility version 9.0.0, current version 9.0.0)
        /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0)
        /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 88.3.4)
        /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation (compatibility version 150.0.0, current version 368.27.0)

If you go to uninstall gettext and/or libiconv, then it seems like a good idea that port should know about the dependency.

So I think we should have findutils depend upon gettext.

This patch fixes this.

It also adds a no_program_prefix variant as I discussed in

I'm going to send in a new version of the Portfile that has the following changes:

• set SORT=/usr/bin/sort to prevent problems of configure finding another sort program, which when removed from the system, will prevent locate from working.
• update your email address
• add a normal_names variant which creates symlinks from ${prefix}/bin/g* to the non-g names.
• changed the prefix from gnu to g to be consistent with the majority of other MacPorts packages.
• depend upon gettext.

I decided that the variant name normal_names wasn't too clear, so I've renamed it to normal_install_names, leaving open the possibility of also adding symlinks for files just not in $prefix/bin.

Given the policy mentioned at the following URL of waiting 72 hours for the port maintainer to respond to the ticket, with no response, I committed the changes myself in r20214.

I'll close this ticket myself when I get the Trac rights :)
