It appears that the gtk12 port needs to disable this dubious : >feature or getresuid needs to be MFC'd all the way back to 3.x. : : If I understand the above, then you compiled something on -current : and you wanted it to run on release-4 and release-3. I do not think : you can count on that. If you want a program to run on multiple : releases, then you'll need to compile it on the lowest release, not : on -current. Yup. I've done things like creating a chroot area and mounting a 3.5 or 2.2.8 cdrom and then mounting another fs in that chroot area to access the sources and then building it there. But as you go back in time in FreeBSD it gets much harder to have ports be supported...
