Help!

I'm trying to make the fwtk-v1.3 port and running into trouble.

1) When make tries to fetch the distfile it chokes. I went to
the tis website and found there new policy of registration. I
then downloaded the files into /usr/ports/distfiles ok. That
problem is solved.

2) When make compares the checksums, it fails on the
documentation tarball. The doc tarball does expand and
untar without errors, so I removed the line in MD5 so that
it skips the check on the doc file. I assume even if the
docs are corrupted that wouldn't be a big deal for the software.
In fact the docs are not corrupted, so the checksum must be
out of date. This is problem has thus been worked around.

3) Here's the show-stopper. When I run make now it starts
compiling and then stops with the following message:

cc -O -I... -I/usr/X11R6/include -c child.c
In file included from child.c:14:
ulib.h:20: X11/Intrinsic.h: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1
Stop.

I assume this is because it's trying to compile code for
X11, which we do not have on the system at all. However,
I see no way in the Makefiles to tell it I don't want or need
anything related to X11.

4) The documentation appears to be in postscript format.
To my knowledge we don't have postscript capability. Anyone
know where the docs are in plain text?

Any help on points 3 and 4 would be MOST appreciated. We're
trying to get the fwtk up today if at all possible. Please respond
to my email address (jlwest@tseinc.com) directly as I am not
on this list at present.

Thanks in advance!
