The site info is in the Makefile. Most everything compiles fine out-of-the-box, but the dynamically loaded modules need some fixing. The problem is a Elf vs. aout problem. I've taken a crack at it, but I am still too much of a novice to fix it myself. This software is *very* well-written. It is a shame we don't have the latest code installed. Scheme-Tk code is *definately* more readable than Tcl-Tk or Perl-Tk (I haven't compared it to Python-Tk). I'm tempted to update the port even with dynamic object files such as "hash.o" not working, but it would be even better if it was fixed correctly. Any patches should, of course, be sent on to the author to improve the code base. Thanks! >How-To-Repeat: N/A >Fix: N/A >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
