Taglib should not use kde4 portgroup

Reported by: singingwolfboy@… Owned by: rmsfisher@…

Component: ports Version: 1.8.1
Keywords: Cc:
Port: taglib

Description

The kde4 portgroup is used for installing KDE ports. However, taglib is not actually a KDE project, even though its maintained by the KDE developers. From the taglib homepage:

TagLib is not toolkit specific - while TagLib does use KDE-style
programming conventions and C++ by default, it does not link to 
either Qt or Glib (in fact it has no  external dependancies) and 
does provide Glib-style C bindings (currently for the generic API only)

Therefore, it should not use the kde4 portgroup. Setting this portgroup pulls in automoc and qt4-mac as dependencies -- in particular, qt4-mac is a HUGE port that is completely unnecessary. It also displays several error messages if you try to install it without having qt4-mac installed.

Perhaps taglib should use the cmake portgroup instead.
