I had some time to work on this project, and now I know how to make it work.
So I have updated your port, but I have a problem, and I found no solution
in the Porter's Handbook: newsx needs to compile with an include file from
INN, the storage.h.
I have to update the configure file, to replace '#include <$ac_hdr>' by
something like '#include <$inn_hdr/$ac_hdr>', where $inn_hdr is e.g.
${PORTSDIR}/news/inn/work/inn-2.3.0/include/
How may I define this variable? Even if the user has installed INN, he
may have done a 'make clear'...
IMHO, the best solution could be:
- from an eval of '/usr/local/news/bin/innconfval -v', I read the version
of INN;
- accordind to this version, it could be possible to define PATCHFILES.
But to do this, we need to find an ftp site for these different header
files... Do you think it is possible?
Truly yours,
