For that glx stuff I needed to do a 2nd level patching, meaning
I had to apply patches to such a tree
cd /usr/ports/Mesa3
make patch
cd work/Mesa-3.0
patch <some-changes-to-Mesa3.diff
I did this because both XFree86 and Mesa3 ports are rather large
complicated packages by themselves thus if I would copy them
and change them, I would waste space and have the problem of synching
with future updates of the originals.
Plus I have lots and lots of packages that expect a "Mesa-3.0" installation
and not some Mesa-3.0-accelerated package.
My question:
Is there a better solution or some other port that solves the same
problem?
Regards,
Marc
