Can someone help poor Vanilla? Satoshi ------- Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1998 14:22:41 +0200 From: Martin Cracauer To: freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Some -devel ports break autoconf (gtk11 spotted) When having gtk and gtk11 installed, you have gtk.m4 and gtk11.m4 in /usr/local/share/aclocal. This breaks autoconf (more specially, aclocal), since both files define variables of the same name. The proper fix in the line of the usual stable/current port way would be to change the names of all variables in gtk11.m4 from gtk to gtk11. This would put a lot of work on the shoulders for everyone trying to compile something against gtk11. So I think it would be more wise to create a $(PREFIX)/share/aclocal.current/ directory, where ports with possibly conflicting aclocal parts could place them and maintainers of depending ports could easily address them. While I'm at it, I also though it would be a good idea to create a whoel $(PREFIX-DEVEL) directory structure, so that accessing two version of one port would be easier. That is obviously limited to two versions of a port, but would make compiling non-port software against devel ports (i.e. GNOME against gtk11) much easier. Has this been discussed before?
