Description

catdoc doesn't depend on tk

When I tried to build it, it started pulling in tons sorts of unnecessary stuff. When I removed the runtime dependency for tk it built (and ran) without any problems.

The port says:

depends_run		bin:wish:tk
configure.args	--without-wish

and has done so ever since the port was added. See #5167. At first these lines seemed contradictory, but comments in #5167 suggest that --without-wish just disables a build-time test for wish, but that presumably wish will still be used at runtime.

I think wish is only meant to be used by wordview. But the first line of /opt/local/bin/wordview is:

#! no

and of course trying to run it results in:

-bash: /opt/local/bin/wordview: no: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

If I fix the shebang line to read:

#!/usr/bin/env wish

then wordview opens fine. So I think the tk dependency is still needed, and the shebang line needs to be fixed by the port.

Note that wish should already exist on your system as /usr/bin/wish, so MacPorts shouldn't be trying to install the tk port anyway. If you don't have /usr/bin/wish, that would seem unusual to me, and might indicate a problem with your OS X installation.
