I'm fully agree with the sentiment above. ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/evolution shows that the binary is linked with some 50 shared libraries (!!!), so that it would be big PITA if we had to specify (and maintain that huge list) them all in the port's Makefile. Instead, dependency-checking mechanism should be extended to check presence of all dependencies, not only those explicitly specified in port's Makefile. See my ports/Tools/scripts/chkdepschain.py script and GNOME_VALIDATE_DEPS_CHAIN knob in bsd.gnome.mk. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
