Jeffrey, how does that differ from the maplay port that now exists in /usrports/audio/maplay? Is your work a FreeBSD port? If it's a modified version of the author's work, could you consider maybe (if there's some difference with our current maplay port) changing our maplay port to include your changes? Our ports system is really how we distribute ported FreeBSD software, and it's really well worth your time to look at it, believe me. Just browsing the bsd.port.mk ports makefile is worth your time, it's a masterpiece of makefiles. You learn that one, you know just about everything there is to know about Makefiles. Seeing as our ports generate their own binary packages automatically, it's really not necessary for you to hold your binary, if your space is real short (I know my own university account is kinda cramped!) > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
