In message <199612031215.WAA10358@genesis.atrad.adelaide.edu.au> you write: >Oh gee, he doesn't want much, does he? 8) I bet you want more than >"spawn an xterm with 'make foo' in it" too, don't you? For non-interactive ports, it'd be much nicer to just create a text widget into which you put the output of the command you spawned asyncrhonously. (This is actually really easy, code upon request). However, I've never tried to do an interactive shell this way. >Speaking of 'clean', is it desired behaviour for 'clean' to purge all >ports that are prequisites for a given port? That's a real pain for >something like 'apsfilter' which depend on half the known universe 8( You can define NOCLEANDEPENDS to make it not do this. bsd.port.mk pretty much has a variable for every behavior =) Bill
