I need to build PLIST on the fly, unless I want the port's build to depend on many other big language packages that are irrelevant to 99% of the users (who want to use C, C++ or maybe Java). I spent quite some time to make it work in the cases of - compiling with any target language install or not installed - building a binary package and installing it on a machine with less languages installed. - the other way round so please touch this port only with great care! I noticed other ports have a compile-time PLIST also, if someone developed a better scheme to do so, please let me know. Regarding the manpages, there is a number of fixed manpages and a number of language-specific manpages. The others are easy to identify by <languages-name>-stubber.1. I also chose to let the port install the manpages to its own base dir and link them to $(PREFIX)/man. That is easy to revert, if there's desire to do so. I missed the rationale about removing manpages from PLIST. If someone forwared me the new policy, I could take care of the manpages for this port myself. As I'm going to touch the port anyway, any other suggestions? No, I couldn't locate the reason why it doesn't work when compiled with -O, although I tried quite hard, so the reason is that I'm too stupid :-/ Martin -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Martin Cracauer <cracauer@cons.org> http://www.cons.org/cracauer BSD User Group Hamburg, Germany http://www.bsdhh.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
