The following reply was made to PR ports/69219; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Ted Mittelstaedt" <tedm@toybox.placo.com> To: <freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org> Cc: "Volker Stolz" <vs@FreeBSD.org> Subject: Re: ports/69219: update rwhoisd to version 1.5.9; install IPv6 rwhois client Date: Mon, 3 Jan 2005 02:28:05 -0800 Note on this - as far as tcpwrappers is concerned, the rwhoisd-1.5.9 package has a configure script that doesen't check for the existence of tcpwrappers already being on the system, however the rwhoisd dameon requires the libwrap library at link time. The maintainers of the rwhois daemon package solve this by simply including the distribution of wrappers version 7.6_ipv6.3 in a directory of the rwhois distribution, and configure makes a makefile that compiles that and creates a static libwrap library that is later linked into rwhoisd with the command: gcc -o rwhoisd class_directive.o ... -L../tools/tcpd_wrapper -lwrap ... Doing a make install does not appear to install these wrapper libraries. I would support removing the tcpwrappers dependency as there seems no use for it. Instead modify the rwhoisd makefile to remove the -L../tools/tcpd_wrapper specifier and let it link in with the system libwrap. Ted
