- rP528190: lang/ghc: Fix build on CURRENT.
Built a new version of devel/elm-format with this ghc under poudriere targetting both 12-RELEASE and 13-CURRENT.
Only tested execution and proper functioning of devel/elm-format on 13-CURRENT, but I think if the port built properly in poudriere, that's a good sign that this revision doesn't break things there.

I suspect, BUILD_DEPENDS is sufficient - this ncurses library is used by bootstrap compiler. Can you test it?

Isn't BUILD_DEPENDS for executables?

I am getting:

with
BUILD_DEPENDS= libncursesw.so.8:misc/compat12x
Am I doing it wrong? Also, for learning: why would BUILD_DEPENDS be better?

\o/ I think I understood it. Please correct me if wrong:
LIB_DEPENDS introduces a dependency on the current12x package, which may not be necessary.
BUILD_DEPENDS only uses it at build time and contrary to the description in the porters handbook, there are instances of it referring to libraries in the ports tree.
I also found LOCALBASE to be defined and used in Mk/Uses for similar things in a similar way.
So, it's building now in 13-CURRENT, which is a good sign, can't vouch for its correctness (yet) but would appreciate testing.

All *_DEPENDS variables accept either executable (in form executable:category/port) or package (packagename==ver:category/port or >0 in simplest case). Oh and absolute path too, just like you did it.
The LIB_DEPENDS is special, as it accepts library name (a string that usually gets passed into -l flag of C/C++ compiler, or, which is the same, the output of ldconfig -r).
And regarding BUILD_DEPENDS - you're right, it pulls in a dependency only for building, but it will not end up in the dependency list of final package. In this aspect, LIB_DEPENDS works just like RUN_DEPENDS.

Hey @arrowd, the wrong BUILD_DEPENDS was commited.
This is the output:
