I have some questions about stuff i haven't understood quite much. First, how can I deal with the following problem: I am porting a package, knewspost, which depends on another package - newspost. newspost is easily installed after some modification, but I don't know how to write the knewspost so that newspost be installed , too. RUN_DEPENDS doesn't work, because newspost isn't in the ports tree. Should I first port newspost and then use RUN_DEPENDS, etc? Also, I'd like to ask how can I modify the locations of include files that are searched by .c files. For example, most of the headers in a certain package point to X11/*, but in my case it should be /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xlib.h (for instance). Thanks a lot and sorry for any wasted time -;) Angel __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo!
