Well, the way that the Mozilla distribution is set up, libical really is a completely separate thing and just happens to be shipped with the sources. The directions from the moz-calendar page say to build and install libical from the other-licenses area, *then* build mozilla --with calendar. libart_gpl is integrated more closely in that the configure script expects to find it built with the rest of the distribution files, not external. So, we have to build libical externally for mozilla. Is the source included with mozilla the best implementation of libical available? I did a cursory google and I couldn't come up with a single hit. Do I extract the sources from mozilla and produce my own tarball and put it on the freebsd site? It seems like such a waste to unpack the multi-megabyte mozilla sources just to get libical just to install it in /usr/local, only to delete the extracted sources again just before extracting them to build mozilla --with-calendar. I am seriously looking for suggestions here. Does anyone know of a libical distribution that would be easier to access than the sources included in the mozilla tarball? /Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
