I was building the parts of gnome I knew I wanted, and was getting these weird and easily avoidable errors... if people with less patience try it, they may just decide that fbsd sucks and is broken instead of trying to track it back to the error. The ports I mention should at least try to set USE_GNOME if it's required, I think that no matter where the user tries to build, it should never give a blind error like that... package-depends... cool, wish I would've known about this earlier :) package-depends-list looks even more useful, but they're both undocumented... should I write description lines in the Mk/bsd.port.mk file just to list them? how many other 'hidden' targets are there? :) maybe I'll have to read that whole file instead of just the comment docs -- -Erik <erik@smluc.org> [http://math.smsu.edu/~erik] The opinions expressed by me are not necessarily opinions.
