Keywords: Cc: jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)
Port: ffmpeg

Description

ffmpeg @4.1.3 +gpl2+gpl3+nonfree+x11 will opportunistically link to /opt/local/lib/libXv.1.dylib (provided by xorg-libXv), even though this package is not on the library dependencies list. A later removal of this package breaks the ffmpeg installation.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Install xorg-libXv.
  • Install ffmpeg +gpl2+gpl3+nonfree+x11
  • Uninstall xorg-libXv. Note that there is no warning that ffmpeg requires the presence of xorg-libXv.
  • port notices broken package.

  • port notices broken package.

Just +gpl2 is enough to have it linked and then broken if xorg-libXv is missing. Issue is still unfixed after 5 years.

  1. S. Actually in theory it should not, since xorg-libXv is a [missing in the portfile] dependency for X11 variant. Maybe on my system it is pulled in regardless, because libsdl2 is built with X11. Not sure. Anyway, dependency should be declared.
