They apparently were using XFree86-4 and did not want 3.3.6 installed whenever they built an X-based port. The answer was to add a line to /etc/make.conf saying XFREE86_VERSION=4. That's a nice solution. Is there something comparable for emacs? I use XEmacs and don't especially want to install emacs when I build an emacs-related port. For example, /usr/ports/print/auctex tries to install emacs even though XEmacs is already on the machine. I've since read that this particular package (auctex) is actually part of the XEmacs install, so perhaps it's a bad example. In general, though, can I defeat the install of emacs in some global way? Thanks. M. -- Michael O'Henly TENZO Design To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
