> http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-depend.html#AEN1934 Your link provides an outdated example. Thanks for bringing it up. The ability to use regular expressions exists since: revision 1.439 date: 2003/02/12 05:15:03; author: knu; state: Exp; lines: +3 -3 Fix comment. LIB_DEPENDS can contain extended regular expressions. That was 2.5 years ago. Since then, there appeared special tricks in bsd.progs.mk, like: revision 1.491 date: 2004/06/10 07:30:19; author: kris; state: Exp; lines: +29 -30 [...] * Support glob expressions in USE_GETTEXT to allow more flexibility in the face of future gratuitous library version bumps by the gettext developers [3]: USE_GETTEXT=yEs # Works as before (case-insensitive) USE_GETTEXT=[5-7] # Accepts any of those libintl.so.x versions # in the LIB_DEPENDS [...] Doc-team (CC-ed) should fix the documentation: -There shall be no regular expressions in this variable. +lib can be an extended regular expression > BTW: portmgr, want to take care of this thread? End it now is better than > later. Jeremy, all technical arguments against my idea, which you brought up yesterday on the gnome@ (viz. non-existent potential for API/ABI incompatibilities), were wrong. And now you are appealing to "authority"?.. Do not turn this into an ego contest. -mi
