Port: wxWidgets libsdl-devel added
Summary: wxWdigets does not installwxWidgets: Cannot install wxWidgets for the arch(s) 'i386' because its dependency libsdl-devel is only installed for the arch 'x86_64' and does not have a universal variant.

Consider using libsdl (which has a universal variant) instead of libsdl-devel (which doesn't).

Hi, where does that dependency come from, have you libsdl-devel installed? If you look at wxWidgets Portfile, you'll see that there is no dependency on libsdl-devel, the dependency on the other is described in a way that allows both libsdl and libsdl-devel to satisfy it. Do you then really need libsdl-devel? (or does hugin-app depend on libsdl-devel somehow)

Actually it's only the wxGTK version of wxWidgets that depends on SDL (for sound), so that dependency is all lame anyway...

  --with-sdl              use SDL for audio on Unix

libsdl-devel probably doesn't need to exist anymore
