LessTif is an LGPL implementation of the Motif API. A port is available in ports/x11-toolkits/lesstif.

That is true. As it is now you would have to build lesstiff, uncomment "HAVE_MOTIF= yes" in /etc/make.conf and then build xmcd. The question is do you want the port build process to modify make.conf if lesstiff is needed? > > -- > STATE-OF-THE-ART: Any computer you can't afford. > OBSOLETE: Any computer you own. > ________________________________________________________________ > FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org > My Webpage http://ukug.uk.freebsd.org/~mark/ > mailto:mark@ukug.uk.freebsd.org http://www.radan.com > > #:^) -- f u cn rd ths, u cn gt a gd jb n cmptr prgrmmng. bush doctor To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
