Hi mc, I was poking around in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.gecko.mk, figuring that it was controlling the dependencies in the librsvg2 port. There's a comment at the top of the file: # ======================= USERS ================================= # To specify which gecko-based backend you prefer, use something like: # # WITH_GECKO= firefox # # The valid backends are: # firefox flock nvu seamonkey thunderbird xulrunner # # See below for more details. # ======================= /USERS ================================ A little further down, there's this comment: # USE_GECKO= firefox-devel<->firefox # This will sed -e 's/firefox/firefox-devel/' on Makefile.in's and configure # if ${GECKO}=="firefox-devel" I wonder if something like this would work for librsvg2: make USE_GECKO=firefox3<->firefox install clean It won't with the current version of the Makefile anyway, since it uses "USE_GECKO=" instead of "USE_GECKO?=", so it can't be overridden. It would be interesting to try making that change and then use the make command above to see if the www/firefox dependency is replaced with www/firefox3. It sounds like you're working with FF2 now anyway, but maybe this will help sometime in the future.
