* From: Nik Clayton <nik@nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk>
* You're libwww is the wrong version. I know it works with libwww-5.2.6,
* because that's what it's using on my machine here, and on hub, and on
* freefall (3.1-stable machines all of them).
I did use libwww-5.2.6. In fact the periodic package building (which
always starts with an empty /usr/local) was failing just until now.
Justin's commit to www/libwww and my (still uncommitted, posted to
this list) fix to teTeX-beta was necessary to get it going again.
HTXML.h was including xmlparse.h, which wasn't installed by the libwww
port so I have no idea how it worked for you, unless you somehow had
an old copy of that file already under /usr/local.
* I'm beginning to think that this might be simpler if ports like these
* were duplicated in the doc repository (doc/ports?) with Makefiles that
* defaulted to installing them under /usr/doc/app/{bin,share,...}
* instead. We could then merge in changes from the main ports to the
* copies in doc/ after testing that they still work properly.
*
* This would work, but is a lot of duplication.
If the stuff that docproj depends on are moving too fast (and breaking
a lot along the way) in the main ports tree, I agree maybe it's a good
idea to put them in their own repository.
I don't particularly mind the duplication (it's only port skeletons
after all) but this is a different situation, when a single port works
for some people but not for others. :)
And the other mail:
* "It works for me", and did when I installed it on hub and freefall about
* a week ago. You may find it simpler to install the package until any
* new wrinkles with the port are sorted out.
But if it doesn't work for *me* (on the package building machine),
there's no package! ;)
