Actually, it would cause 'make world' to fail if /usr/X11R6 were present but not complete (eg. only libraries were present, say for running emacs), or not writable (eg. mounted readonly via NFS), or if you built on a machine with no X and then tried 'make reinstall' onto one that had X, the 'reinstall' would fail. > A better solution may be something like: > src/gnu/usr.bin/groff/Makefile: > .if exists(${X11BASE}/include) > .if exists(${X11BASE}/lib) > SUBDIR +=xditview You would need to add a writability test too. I would have been happy with the build or install failing and being ignored, but I couldn't come up with a way for it to be done tidily. > Julian H.
