gnucash doesn't depend on evince if built from gtk2+quartz+no_x11

[mp@…]

Gnucash's evince runtime dependency was added for printing support, but this is only needed with gtk2(x11).

When built from gtk2+quartz+no_x11, evince is not required. In fact, as far as I can tell, evince and it's dependencies (eg, gnome-desktop) will not build from a quartz version of gtk2, and so a 'port install gnucash' will fail in the dependency chain.

I have attached a patch to the gnucash Portfile which detects whether gtk2 was installed with the quartz variant, and if so removes the evince dependency. I chose not to add a quartz variant to gnucash because it's not really a gnucash 'feature'. This way the gnucash Portfile is smart enough to build properly based on the variants of its dependencies.

I have just committed r44456 which updates gnucash to 2.2.8. Compiling this under Mac OS X 10.5 with MacPorts variants.conf containing +no_x11 +quartz on a machine with Apple's X11 installed, I could not get the final gnucash application to link unless I disabled the check for Xlib.h in gnucash's configure script. So to get it to work, I added a +no_x11 variant at the gnucash level. Since I was adding such a variant for independent reasons, it seemed a no-brainer to eliminate the evince dependency in that variant. I figure this pretty much takes care of this ticket, but I wasn't sure if everyone would agree with this course, or exactly how I should mark the resolution (fixed, wontfix, etc.) So anyone involved with this ticket should feel free to close it as far as I'm concerned.
