X-BeenThere: freebsd-ports@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting software to FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 02 Sep 2004 15:32:03 -0000 Thank you all! Yes; I had known that synopsis required g++ 3 or higher (I was unable to download gcc 3.2 but did build 3.1) I shall indeed try the ports/patches as recommended by you helpful people and will assuredly send all information back to the developer. He seems to be quite willing to add ifdef's and installation notes as appropriate and appeared most interested in having his package build for FreeBSD (as am I).
