* - It requires the jpeg6 and png ports for building, but fails to * detect that they are already installed. Instead, it depends on * the file /nonexistent, ie. it *always* extracts, builds and installs * both these ports. This will fail if they have already been * installed. * * - It attempts to execute scripts/configure, which is not executable. * Instead, the script should be fed to sh. (This may be a generic * ports infrastructure thing.) You need a new bsd.port.mk for both these things. Really. I'm building all ports (except interactive or restricted ones) about once per week now. Please do not expect something this basic to be broken so long, and do not send mail to -ports without upgrading at least your bsd.port.mk to the latest version. Satoshi
