The xmcd port requires lesstiff and, since I don't have it installed,
gives this message:
marder-1# cd /usr/ports/audio/xmcd
marder-1# make
===> xmcd-2.5 requires Motif. LessTif is an LGPL implementation of the Motif API. A port is available in ports/x11-toolkits/lesstif. Please see /etc/make.conf.
marder-1#
Why does it not simply install it as a dependency as is the usual
behaviour? Yes, I have looked at /etc/make.conf as the message says,
but all I can see are the options:
#HAVE_MOTIF= yes
#MOTIF_STATIC= yes
#MOTIFLIB= -L${X11BASE}/lib -lXm
The only guess I can make is that if lesstiff were installed as a
dependency then xmcd still wouldn't build as make(1) would assume
that MOTIF wasn't installed.
