>Description:
The USE_GTEXINFO macro checks for the pkg with the following line:
DEPENDS+= gtexinfo-3.12:${PKGSRCDIR}/devel/gtexinfo
Which works fine (with my other PR, without that it explodes) except if
you have a locally maintained installation of gtexinfo. In which case it
will go and build you a new one and you will have them both. (local and pkg)
This same problem exists with perl, and can be solved in the same fashion.
>How-To-Repeat:
install gtexinfo into /usr/local manually. Try to build the gtexinfo pkg
and watch the lossage begin!
>Fix:
There are a few bins that gtexinfo relys on, such as texi2dvi,
texindex,install-info,info. We need to pick one and use it as a
BUILD_DEPEND.
BUILD_DEPEND += texi2dvi:${PKGSRCDIR}/devel/gtexinfo
and
BUILD_DEPEND += perl:${PKGSRCDIR}/lang/perl5
this way it checks the path and doesn't build a useless pkg, which will
either take up space, or screw yours up, depending on the order of your path.
