However, the built HylaFAX does not work. It does not work when compiled against libtiff-3.5.x, because you have not included the libtiff interfaces patch (which was produced against 4.1b2). HylaFAX was originally built against libtiff-3.4, which is no longer in the FreeBSD ports tree. The interface changed sixe between libtiff 3.4 and 3.5. Without the aforementioned patch, 'faxq' and 'faxgetty' (depending on whether you're sending or receiving, respectively) will loop infinitely, consuming CPU with abandon.. This is a well-known issue (it bites recent RH Linux users too). I mentioned it in my reply to your original email.
