Not unless someone submits a diff or the maintainer has some extra time on his hands to make it work under FreeBSD.

What sort of hints? Do what the port tells you once you run make, or make your life simple, go to the Sun web site (http://www.sun.com/products/staroffice/5.1/get.html), download the language you want, stick it in /usr/ports distfiles, and run make. It's really not all that hard -- just watch what port spews when you try to make it. - jim -- jim mock <jim@jmock.com> work: jim@osd.bsdi.com | jim@FreeBSD.org http://soupnazi.org/ BSDi Open Source Div | http://bsdi.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
