It will take some time for the ports crew to update all the ports makefiles to cater for the elf system. We hope that moving the installed libs from /usr/local/lib to /usr/local/lib/aout will not break the installed ports. There are too many combinations to test this out though. I'm an ould ould lazy codger. Can you give the one line canonical recipe for manually making a port or munging its makefile to make it make? Being elf could be rilly kule (tm) but loosing some o' dem ports is a pain. -George -- George Michaelson | DSTC Pty Ltd Email: ggm@dstc.edu.au | University of Qld 4072 Phone: +61 7 3365 4310 | Australia Fax: +61 7 3365 4311 | http://www.dstc.edu.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
