WANTLIB contains libraries from base, X, and packages too. LIB_DEPENDS lists the ports that
contain any libraries in WANTLIB that aren’t already in base.

Yes, this is the simplest way.

I usually start out with a blank LIB_DEPENDS, or just enough to make it build. Then, run “make port-lib-depends-check”. It will print something like this:
Code:
Missing: crypto.22 (/usr/local/lib/libquvi.so.0.0) (system lib)
Asking ports for dependency libwebp-0.2.1(graphics/libwebp)
Asking ports for dependency gettext-0.18.2p1(devel/gettext)

*** Error 1 in target 'port-lib-depends-check' (ignored)
I look for every lib marked “NOT REACHABLE” and find the port that provides it, and add that to LIB_DEPENDS. (In this case, net/curl and devel/libidn.) Then I run port-lib-depends-check again:
Code:
Missing: crypto.22 (/usr/local/lib/libquvi.so.0.0) (system lib)
Asking ports for dependency curl-7.26.0p1(net/curl)
Asking ports for dependency gettext-0.18.2p1(devel/gettext)
Asking ports for dependency libiconv-1.14p0(converters/libiconv)
Asking ports for dependency libidn-1.26(devel/libidn)
Missing: curl.23 from curl-7.26.0p1 (/usr/local/lib/libquvi.so.0.0)
Missing: idn.17 from libidn-1.26 (/usr/local/lib/libquvi.so.0.0)
Missing: m.7 (/usr/local/lib/libquvi.so.0.0) (system lib)
Missing: ssl.19 (/usr/local/lib/libquvi.so.0.0) (system lib)
Missing: z.4 (/usr/local/lib/libquvi.so.0.0) (system lib)
WANTLIB += crypto curl idn m ssl z
*** Error 1 in target 'port-lib-depends-check' (ignored)
Then I copy and paste the “WANTLIB += crypto …” part into the port Makefile. Running port-lib-depends-check again shows:
Code:
Asking ports for dependency curl-7.26.0p1(net/curl)
Asking ports for dependency gettext-0.18.2p1(devel/gettext)
Asking ports for dependency libiconv-1.14p0(converters/libiconv)
Asking ports for dependency libidn-1.26(devel/libidn)
So everything is okay (no errors).
