I've been looking at section 4.2.6, which seems to indicate that it's about making a port. It points you to a nonexistent document, and that's all I found. Thanks VERY much for the section number you gave, it's the right one. Someone with commit privs should change 4.2.6 to point towards this, instead of a dead end. BTW, I did look at bsd.port.mk, that's how I got the glimpse port to work, but I can read makefiles, I'm not _that_ much of a make expert to go too far into that monster.mk. > -- > Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.frmug.fr.net > FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #13: Sat Jan 6 20:08:04 MET 1996 > ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!
