libsndfile tries to use jack libraries

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

libsndfile tries to use libraries from the jack port, but does not declare a dependency on jack, and cannot, because jack already declares a dependency on libsndfile, and there cannot be circular dependencies in MacPorts. The following is what happens when I already have jack and libsndfile installed non-universal and try to rebuild libsndfile universal:

libsndfile should not try to use jack's libraries, but I don't see a configure arg to disable this. (Or libsndfile should declare a dependency on jack, and jack should then not declare a dependency on libsndfile and should not use its libraries.)

Can you update libsndfile to 1.0.21 and try again?

Building libsndfile +universal with jack -universal and libsndfile -universal installed seems to work (see the attached log).

Since I haven't heard back, I assume this is no longer a problem.

Thanks, it seems to work fine now.
