# $FreeBSD: ports/x11/XFree86-4/Makefile,v 1.126 2001/06/13 19:50:52 jmz Exp $

>Description:

After installing XFree86-4.1.0_4 and trying to compile some ports
(for example, xlockmore) they didn't compile because an environment
variable from /etc/make.conf was missing.

>How-To-Repeat:

Install XFree86-4 port, then try to compile xlockmore. It will stop
after complaining about some pthread functions. Looking in the
Makefile of xlockmore I saw that there were references to
XFREE86_VERSION, but I was never informed that such a variable
should exist.
