There also exist assorted patches within this suite of ports to fix these BSD-specific errors. > Are there any steps you have for compiling Cinnamon?

Just like you, I also liked using Cinnamon on my previous operating system, although currently using MATE on FreeBSD as an interim measure. Things have been slow on my end due to outside factors, but quite a lot has changed between Cinnamon 2.4 and 3.6. I can report that I've updated most of the ports on my local ports tree; there are still a few stragglers plus deciding how to include X-Apps. Plus I'd like to clean up the port Makefiles a bit more for maintainability's sake. --=20 Charlie Li Can't think of a witty .sigline today=E2=80=A6 (This email address is for mailing list use only; replace local-part with vishwin for off-list communication) --N8m9yF3nU828Sdi4eMEI6wiBphgok8Loq-- --fWrIjJbDk9sL1KsUh28qJ3HeZWq4yq3TW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEE/RdyC3Asy49czZEGtQ4IJhNZSS0FAlrmVQ0ACgkQtQ4IJhNZ SS3zaw//YZOVPZWpLLDDhSD7m0hf1l/Q8HWFptDa/1gcW+7GM4346xKnXb4w41vl syvvdhfr7JlUIobpxsnsHU4EB/FB72b5HdEwObnGIAYv8n5XSW/vFZ/mIz7uh8LQ IT3YS/bDt5CpHSnp2icwZN3i/iMIVDb/8fDwk/llKS5iEaszzvKGoPNNcNWZIfpR Ve3xk47SO+vQxbrlWkJ3BdZfuapQsjstfT9+901o9S1zKnW5LnYrWXoxE6hQs2+y isy093g4+/EEE0NypAOzpv6olgyc7LFCd0uNtNH+R5FXPMtYDTU/assogfYo2JjD HzOLAHkudlGu+sOkZEjj9EvlIlGdhUhj0CPH7P6IeUxQNfndNih5H0/53Q646b1/ p8nMM/oK+yrg5MExjHXkUhyDIToVN9WzTdxPd0EtzyFeX7iRYTL9ctyPGr/q9l41 W+qK1bo/6Py9CoACX2mpZaPiAP1fO9uAI4s4ERdo4SamYuDvZJ/93UlfK8unhrto NIf/ETmyxgAL6adlDCUjp3+ZUP0t2XZ3DwovntqMM04kKZWcY8l9Gt3ZuUnwPT7t OcBmdQ80ArroX1YYd3G1MwlKqy4G91CPCwEHRQI1w5cy00wb1bBsYc9rwTumEoT4 HGASWydS7w8APTHmKhehtNHGgUhV2kI323KBxtPo1gLgd+vvP5o= =kU7m -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --fWrIjJbDk9sL1KsUh28qJ3HeZWq4yq3TW--
