Thanks for that. As you've probably guessed, I'm trying to make sense of the available information before I decide what to include in the freshports project. From what you've said, I'll keep the two lists separate. I'm compiling the lists directly via "make -V BUILD_DEPENDS -V RUN_DEPENDS". I'll also make sure that your explanation is included somewhere on the website. > Looking at the webpage, it seems the two lists are just bunched > together. That doesn't make much sense. I'll keep seeking out information about that list. I still want to know why libtool is listed. <grin> Thanks for that. It's been very helpful. -- Dan Langille [I'm looking for more work] http://www.langille.org/ | http://www.unixathome.org/ http://www.racingsystem.com/ | http://www.freebsddiary.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
