Description
Not all versions of wxWidgets work on all platforms, and as such, that means some of their dependents won't work on all platforms, either. Path-style dependencies would allow the ports to work regardless of the version of wxWidgets installed. However, if the version of wxWidgets used does actually make a difference for a port, this could instead be accomplished by variants allowing the selection of the wxWidgets version of the user's choice. Currently ports that depend on wxWidgets and do not use either path-style dependencies or variants are:
- codeblocks
- FileZilla
- fityk
- lisaem
- py*wxpython
- rt-volume-rendering
- usbprog
- wxd
- otrproxy
For an example of a port that does things the right way, check out Poedit's portfile (it does the variants method).
