As well, * a grep xpm /usr/ports/INDEX | wc shows 413 ports that require Xpm * libraries. What is the "dependency not found issue when using Xpm based ports with XFree86-4"? * Would it seem prudent to add a USE_XPM to bsd.port.mk to make this * easier? As well, it would then seem to have a make.conf entry for those * of us who do use XFree86-4 for something like USE_XFREE86_4 which both * deals with depending on /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 and eliminates xpm * specific dependencies when using XFree86-4. We're planning to switch to XFree86-4 for everything except for servers soon. So hopefully this will be a non-issue. * Anyone ever note that comment above the USE_XLIB line that doesn't * make any sense in regards to the actual effect the variables have???? If you are talking about these lines: * # Don't try to build XFree86 even if ALWAYS_BUILD_DEPENDS is defined -- * # it's just too big.... that's exactly what it means. I doubt people with ALWAYS_BUILD_DEPENDS would appreciate all their USE_XLIB ports suddenly taking hours to compile....
