Hi Ying-Chieh Liao! First of all, thank you for taking a look at my pr! I earlier asked a question to the list, of how to make a port where the none-X11 application always will be installed, while the X11-application hence is optional. Got a few answers, but not a direct one, which I would have hoped for. One was that I preferably should make two ports, a X11 and a none-X11, so I did follow this path and came up with these two pr's. As it seems you're a project member, maybe you could decide if the following would be ok or not for a port, following the FreeBSD standard as closely as possible. If ok I can make it one port, with the -DWITHOUT_X11, else it would be really hard. That would require a lot in depth analyzing the Makefiles of the application. If installing the X11-version everything on the other hand always will go smoothly. So... Is this below ok for a port? Installing the none-X11 version ------------------------------- * medcon is installed, but not it's companion xmedcon, in /usr/local/bin. * The man-page xmedcon.1 (for the X11-application) is in- stalled, but there is no xmedcon (see above). * In /usr/local/etc/ the xmedconrc, xmedconrc.linux, and xmedcon.png is installed, but never used. There are two solutions for this, as I see it, if it's not ok, but I don't know if they can/should be done of some reason: 1. Is it possible, by defines as -DWITHOUT_X11, to select which patch-files that should be applied when patching? 2. Is it ok to remove unused files in the post-install? Then those not used, if defined -DWITHOUT_X11, can be removed after the real install has been done. Looking forward for an answer, and once more: Thank you!
