During the configuration part of make, if TK is not found on system, configuration will just send a message, and continue building without it. In order to build TK, however, the Xlibs must be installed (e.g. X-windows must already have been built). So, effectively, you have to install X-windows twice to get the graphical configuration utility to install. This is a usability problem. >How-To-Repeat: install minimal base distribution from packages. install cvsup from packages and update sources. make world. install XFree86 from ports (you'll see that it skips grpahical setup build) >Fix: install minimal base distribution from packages. install cvsup from packages and update sources. make world. install XFree86 from ports install something like tkman, which picks up all TK dependencies deinstall XFree86 install XFree86 with FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=YES >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
