Without calling buildconf we have to do some more work which is doable but should be compared with the documented way on every update. additional changes needed: - new patch(es) for OSVERSION (cross compiling and tinderbox) - s/-lpthread/pthread/ in configure scripts - s/void main/int main/ in configure scripts Even then we will loose some FreeBSD specific adjustments. To get a handy diff run `make configure' with and without your changes then do a > sed -i '' -E 's|^configure:[0-9]+:|configure::|g' work/apr-1.4.6/config.log > sed -i '' -E 's|^configure:[0-9]+:|configure::|g' work/apr-util-1.4.1/config.log > diff -NruEb work.save/ work/ I'm planing to modify the port in near future to enable the CRYPTO part per default and make usage of the new OPTIONS_RADIO and OPTIONS_GROUP params. -- Regards, olli
