Please wait for them to incorporate the changes so there is no patching necessary for FreeBSD. That's why I put the CMU people on the "To:" line of the patches. Note that the use of Imake (the correct way to do cross-platform configuration... die, configure, die!) semi-requires X11 because of the incorrect way we install Imake from the X11 distribution instead of it being a standard system component. A port *might* want to make the FreeBSD Makefiles. Note that if it did this, it would need to "touch" them to make sure they were not recreated (with no tool to do it) from the Imakefiles. The touch would need to occur on each "install". Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
