This is the right forum for your message. In order to update the port, you or someone needs to file a PR with a diff in order to update it to the latest version. If you're the author of this software and have a bit of free time to spare for this, it's best for you to also be the port maintainer. That will tend to speed the process of the port being updated compared with someone else doing it... A start of the diff to update the port would look like this, but your build system seems to assume that make is GNU make, so it's not complete: diff -duNr pngwriter_old/Makefile pngwriter/Makefile --- pngwriter_old/Makefile Sun Jun 27 13:50:40 2004 +++ pngwriter/Makefile Sun Jun 27 13:58:18 2004 @@ -7,18 +7,19 @@ # PORTNAME= pngwriter -PORTVERSION= 0.3.7 +PORTVERSION= 0.4.1 CATEGORIES= graphics devel MASTER_SITES= ${MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE} MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR= ${PORTNAME} EXTRACT_SUFX= .tgz -MAINTAINER= ports@FreeBSD.org +MAINTAINER= individual@mi.cl COMMENT= A C++ library for creating PNG images LIB_DEPENDS= png.5:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/png USE_REINPLACE= yes +USE_GMAKE= yes ALL_TARGET= libpngwriter post-patch: diff -duNr pngwriter_old/distinfo pngwriter/distinfo --- pngwriter_old/distinfo Sun Jun 27 13:50:40 2004 +++ pngwriter/distinfo Sun Jun 27 13:51:17 2004 @@ -1,2 +1,2 @@ -MD5 (pngwriter-0.3.7.tgz) = 72b4e2f09c3b4d81304fe1858b833c3a -SIZE (pngwriter-0.3.7.tgz) = 463042 +MD5 (pngwriter-0.4.1.tgz) = 8c32996e78d674cc2f7e7646ab0fb04c +SIZE (pngwriter-0.4.1.tgz) = 534310 [ You'd probably have to run a REINPLACE command to substitute gmake for make in some of your files, and/or create patches to do the same thing... ] -- -Chuck
