Yes, as long as I give up on the idea of having this work as a package, which I'm tempted to do. I did originally have all that stuff in the Makefile, but like I said, the package should execute it on install, not on creation, unlike the port. The only way I thought that could work was with the pkg-install script. If there's another way, then please let me know. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kim Scarborough http://www.unknown.nu/kim/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Those who 'abjure' violence can only do so because others are committing violence on their behalf." -- George Orwell ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
