Yes and no.=20 Yes: If the port should follow the instructions in=20 http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/porting.html. Especially: use USE_GNOME f= or=20 variable dependencies; NEVER use LIB_DEPENDS. I guess that C (in your=20 example) scans the MAKEFILE of A for LIB_DEPENDS. If there are no, C will n= ot=20 depend on B. In other words: replace the=20 LIB_DEPENDS+=3D=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0gtkmm.2:${PORTSDIR}/x11-too= lkits/gtk-- LIB_DEPENDS+=3D=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0gnomemm-1.2.10:${PORTSDIR}/= x11-toolkits/gnome-- by USE_GNOME=3D=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0gnomelibs gtk-- gnome= =2D- This requires bsd.gnome.mk to be touched as well (gtk-- and gnome-- have to= be=20 added). I made this on my machine (for testing purposes) and afterwards the= =20 port installation worked fine in both cases (discussed in the PR). No: cdrdao is a commandline tool. Why does it depend on gnome? I guess (I d= o=20 not have gnome) gnome has a gui interface to cdrdao. For people just using= =20 the command line this gui stuff is a big overhead. My prefered solution is = to=20 split the port as written in the PR. None gnome user install cdrdao; others= =20 cdrdao-gnome (which depends on cdrdao). This also solves another problem: Afaik the packages are built automaticall= y.=20 I guess (not checked) the build system in cleaned, the dependent ports are= =20 installed, the port is built and the package is created and stored on the=20 =46reeBSD ftp server. Therefore the cdrdao package either contains the gnom= e=20 stuff or not (I guess not). In any case there will be group of people, whic= h=20 can not use the package! If there were 2 ports (cdrdao and cdrdao-gnome),=20 there will be 2 packages; one for each group of people. Good night=20 Heiner
