Vanilla, what do you think? Satoshi ------- * Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1998 14:22:41 +0200 * From: Martin Cracauer <cracauer@cons.org> * * * 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? * * Martin * -- * %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% * Martin Cracauer <cracauer@cons.org> http://www.cons.org/cracauer * Tel.: (private) +4940 5221829 Fax.: (private) +4940 5228536 * Paper: (private) Waldstrasse 200, 22846 Norderstedt, Germany * * To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org * with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message * * To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
