Bug ID: 234495
Summary: USE_GCC installs gcc as a run-depend?
Product: Ports & Packages
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Individual Port(s)
Assignee: ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org
Reporter: bergerkos at yahoo.co.uk
When I'm using the Makefile fields "USE_GCC=yes
GCC_COMMAND=/usr/local/bin/gcc8" in my port's Makefile the resulting packages
installs the specified gcc compiler package as a dependency.
However, the Porter's Handbook at
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-depend.html
explicitly mentions the meaning of the "USE_GCC=" optiona as:
The port requires GCC (gcc or g++) to build. [...]
To build, it says, and adds nothing about installing it together with the
compiled port package. In reality, though, this usage ends up in the
gcc-$version package being installed along with the port itself. The only way
to avoid this currently is to only specify gcc in BUILD_DEPENDS.
What is it? Inconsistency in the documentation? Or a bug in the ports building
framework?
