libsoup: Missing dependency on libpsl

[n0ibe]

Hi there. I'm trying to install webkit2-gtk in order to build a Github project (the luakit browser) on my mac, but I'm having a few problems with geoclue2, one of webkit's dependencies. Here's what I get

$ sudo port install geoclue2

I'm running macOS Catalina 10.15.4 and MacPorts 2.6.2. I'm attaching the log file.

Error is:

:info:configure ) were not met:

What is the output of the following?

port installed libpsl

[n0ibe]

$ port installed libpsl
None of the specified ports are installed.

if libpsl is needed by geoclue2 why isn't is installed automatically as a dependency? Sorry if that's a dumb question, I started using macports yesterday because homebrew doesn't have webkit2-gtk, so I'm still learning how it all works.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

That's not a dumb question. I believe the missing dependency is actually a fault of the libsoup port. I am Cc'ing that port's maintainer for comment.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Actually that is exactly the problem.

Has duplicate #60495.

As a workaround, I installed libsoup separately and then tried again to install gnome. It worked.

Thanks.
