I agree that it should be split into several (master/slave) ports. I initially wrote a libswt port, but then merged it into my eclipse port. I don't know where we would want to install libswt as a standalone. I think it would work to put it in $PREFIX/lib, but eclipse looks all over the place inside it's own tree for libs (according to truss) first. There are two other libs used by the Linux GTK version: libcore, libupdate. I do not know if it would be useful to build these standalone or not. I am porting the Eclipse 2.1 M4 Linux GTK version. The Linux Motif version would probably be a simple port once the GTK one is done. I have a few other questions about this port... What is the best way to do "do-install" for ports w/o their own install target (currently using pinstall)? Should I replace all instances of "Linux" with "FreeBSD"? How do I use a patch-xy to patch a file with spaces in the path? -James To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
