Description Kevin Reinholz 2022-04-08 20:40:14 UTC 
Add option to disable markdown support/cmark dependency--required textproc/cmark conflicts with textproc/py-CommonMark.

Currently, mail/evolution lacks a `make config` option to disable markdown. Moreover, the Makefile reports textproc/cmark as a non-optional dependency. This causes problems building Evolution when textproc/py-CommonMark is installed instead of textproc/cmark (Evolution won't build against py-CommonMark, only cmark).

There is a trivial workaround:

Edit the evolution port's Makefile to remove the lib_depends entry for cmark:

libcmark.so:textproc/cmark \

And then add the following cmake argument:

-DENABLE_MARKDOWN=OFF

After saving changes, evolution will now build without cmark, allowing it to coexist with packages dependent on py-CommonMark. (Such as py-recommonmark, a dependency for a number of packages including llvm13).

Tested building evolution-3.44.0_1 on FreeBSD 13.1-STABLE.

I'm also suffering from the same issue, thanks for reporting!

Personally, I do recommend to disable DOCS of lang/llvm13 rather than turning off MARKDOWN of mail/evolution. I think very few people want documents of lang/llvm13. At least I don't at all.

Thanks for reporting this. I have added a MARKDOWN option to mail/evolution.

It is enabled by default to not break existing setups, but can be disabled for use cases like Kevin Reinholz's where textproc/py-CommonMark is needed.
