If there isn't anything which already exists, then I'd try something along the lines of 'cd'-ing into the directory of the port you want to install, and getting the output of: make -V RUN_DEPENDS -V BUILD_DEPENDS -V LIB_DEPENDS (that should give you three lines, some or all of which might be blank lines). Each non-blank line will be of the form "a1:b1 a2:b2 ...", where each "a" is a pathname, and each "b" is a portname. I'll leave it to you to decide where you go from there... You might want to check through: cd /usr/ports/sysutils/port* and see if any of those already do what you want to see done. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
