That'd be my guess, especially if you look at the other dependency's Makefiles. > So I assumed that the list on the webpage was being compiled by > recursive calls to make on each of the requires.

If the list is not compiled in that > manner, how is the list compiled? That would make sense, unless the list compilation ignores dependencies defined in bsd.port.mk (such as libtool). Notice that libtool isn't defined the same way the other depends are, it's defined with USE_LIBTOOL instead. As for how the list is generated, I'm not sure, though Wolfram could probably shed some light on this. - jim -- - jim mock - walnut creek cdrom/freebsd test labs - jim@luna.cdrom.com - - phone: 1.925.691.2800 x.3814 - fax: 1.925.674.0821 - jim@FreeBSD.org - - editor - The FreeBSDzine - www.freebsdzine.org - jim@freebsdzine.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
