The following reply was made to PR ports/127552; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Bjoern Koenig" <bkoenig@alpha-tierchen.de> To: bug-followup@freebsd.org, gslin@gslin.org Cc: Subject: Re: ports/127552: [PATCH] devel/libffi: Put include files into ${PREFIX}/include Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2008 19:30:04 +0200 (CEST) > I'm trying to porting JSEXT to FreeBSD, and it doesn't use pkg-config > to get correct place of libffi.

Actually, this is the default location of libffi and jsext will have problems on all systems, i.e. even Linux. The proper way would be to fix jsext to use pkg-config. The port java/jamvm shows how it works. > I think it's okay if you insist to put include files in /usr/local/lib/... > or whatever place, I'll use another approach to detect libffi. > > But if you have other plan, please let me know, I would like to change > the way. Probably we could hard link the headers in /usr/local/lib/libffi... to /usr/local/include additionally. I'll think about it. Björn
