|From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" <jkh@time.cdrom.com> |1. Fetch the tar file. Contemplate unpacking and installing it by hand | but decide "no, wait, I might as well just create a port for this right | here and now instead." | |2. Move the tar file to the distfiles directory and clone the netscape2 | port as netscape3 (the missing "fetch" step here is why I blew the | initial path to the tarball, which Satoshi fixed - whoops!). | |3. Fix the new netscape3 port to DTRT for the slightly different structure | of the new port - mainly just change "hot-convert.sh" to "moz3_0.zip" | since the hot-convert script was gone and the moz3_0.zip file added. | |4. Make install. Yow - it worked! | |5. Visit http://java.sun.com and run all the applets there. Yow, they | work too! | |6. Import the port. | |I'm running 2.2-current; I wonder if that has anything to do with it? I had the same success under FreeBSD-stable, though I installed it manually. Rich
