--vkogqOf2sHV7VnPd Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline I have made a port (http://www.elsasser.org/azureus.tar.gz) which needs needs some .jar and .so files (the GTK version of SWT) installed by the java/eclipse port. I don't like this because it means I have to mark my port ONLY_FOR_ARCHES=i386, I have to hard-code a version number in a directory path into my port, and it forces the user to install a whole IDE just to get a library that happens to be bundled with it. The way I have the port set up now will break if the version of eclipse is too old or too new, or if the user chose to build it with motif instead of gtk. What I want to know is if there's a better way than what I've done. Should I just forget eclipse and make a separate port of SWT? There are probably other programs that could use this too. -jre --vkogqOf2sHV7VnPd Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBTJmnz9XqP7gz/VARAgBKAJ9dIxpX8CvpYLVc/NPa8K28E7UgBACfbAkc NDoblTH5h9xj/XnnM6wVGvY= =zyO5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --vkogqOf2sHV7VnPd--
