#38907 closed enhancement

Resolving libjpeg-turbo + jpeg Port conflicts — at Version 3

Port: libjpeg-turbo

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

Since libjpeg-turbo released there are many Ports that could benefit from it's use, except dependencies in these Ports are for the jpeg Port which conflicts with libjpeg-turbo.

Currently there appears to be no way to specify an "OR dependency"... like...

depends_lib port:jpeg || port:libjpeg-turbo

So is the correct way to fix this to change...

depends_lib port:jpeg

to...

depends_lib path:lib/libjpeg.dylib

which would then pass the dependency check for any Port that installed this library.

Let me know if this is the correct fix.

Thanks.

Looks like this won't work for libjpeg-turbo, because jpeg9 breaks API/ABI compatibility with jpeg8 and libjpeg-turbo uses the jpeg8 API.

Grumble...

Let me know if this is the correct way to resolve this type of conflict, for possible future work.

Thanks.

If libjpeg-turbo were a drop-in compatible replacement for jpeg (which I thought it was, but which you've pointed out as of jpeg 9 it isn't anymore) then yes the solution would be to change all port:jpeg dependencies in all ports to path:lib/libjpeg.dylib:jpeg.
