What sort of hints? Do what the port tells you once you run make, or make your life simple, go to the Sun web site (http://www.sun.com/products/staroffice/5.1/get.html), download the language you want, stick it in /usr/ports distfiles, and run make. It's really not all that hard -- just watch what port spews when you try to make it. - jim -- jim mock work: jim@osd.bsdi.com | jim@FreeBSD.org http://soupnazi.org/ BSDi Open Source Div | http://bsdi.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
