I already have a better solution available for weeks. Therefore, you (and others) need to be patient because when I add the :build/:run dependency in the bsd.gnome.mk then that pkg-config runtime dependency will be re-added. And no I am not going to work on chase all ports to have the 'pkgconfig:build' (sorry). -- mezz.freebsd@gmail.com - mezz@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD GNOME Team http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome/ - gnome@FreeBSD.org
