Apologies to Christian--I thought I'd bring this back onlist, since others may have better suggestions... Best, G.

Look at the Makefile: RUN_DEPENDS= acroread:${PORTSDIR}/print/acroread5 \ bash:${PORTSDIR}/shells/bash2 \ cdrecord:${PORTSDIR}/sysutils/cdrtools \ dos2unix:${PORTSDIR}/converters/unix2dos \ emacs:${PORTSDIR}/editors/emacs20 \ fetchmail:${PORTSDIR}/mail/fetchmail \ grip:${PORTSDIR}/audio/grip \ gimp:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/gimp1 \ gv:${PORTSDIR}/print/gv \ gpg:${PORTSDIR}/security/gnupg \ ispell:${PORTSDIR}/textproc/ispell \ startkde:${PORTSDIR}/x11/kde3 \ mutt:${PORTSDIR}/mail/mutt \ mozilla:${PORTSDIR}/www/mozilla \ ${LOCALBASE}/sbin/postfix:${PORTSDIR}/mail/postfix \ xtset:${PORTSDIR}/x11/xtset \ xmms:${PORTSDIR}/multimedia/xmms \ xv:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/xv See how that works? You want bash? Then have it depend upon a file, in this case, bash, and if it doesn't find it (after the :) put the portdir where bash lives... So if I wanted to install, say, postfix, I'd put this in: ${LOCALBASE}/sbin/postfix:${PORTSDIR}/mail/postfix \ (the \ indicates--this line continues to the next line..) If I wanted amavisd-new: ${LOCALBASE}/sbin/amavisd:${PORTSDIR}/security/amavisd-new \ etc... Have fun!!!!
