happy: uses libffi without declaring dependency

Reported by: ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt) Owned by: gwright@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.7.1
Keywords: Cc:
Port: happy

Description 

$ port installed happy libffi
The following ports are currently installed:
  happy @1.18.2_0 (active)
$ happy
dyld: Library not loaded: /mp/lib/libffi.5.dylib
  Referenced from: /mp/bin/happy
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap

Apparently I had libffi installed at the time that I installed happy, and I later uninstalled libffi.

happy should declare a dependency on libffi if it requires it. Alternately, if such a dependency is not desired, happy must not use libffi, even if it is installed.

It's possible this is an extension of #19736 and that once that is resolved, this will also resolve itself.

Happy should not depend on libffi. (It doesn't on my system, and it installs correctly without libffi being installed.) Looks like a cabal problem, in which an unnecessary library is being linked in. I'll look into it. It does look like a dup of #19736.

This is the same issue as #19736. Closing as duplicate.
