(this is my little problem). You need to create a slave port that enables the UTF-8 support in PCRE, then depend on that port instead. It would be nice if there could be one unique file to discern the two installations. >=20 >=20 > Right now the utf8 feature of pcre lib seems to be in a experimental=20 > state, so having a pcre sharedlib might bring some issues to ports that=20 > depend on the normal pcre, nevertheless, I'm almost sure that this will=20 > work just fine. (at least it's working fine here) You might not like this, but check what I did for gnet-glib2. I wanted to go the slave port route, but ports that depended on regular gnet wouldn't like the glib2 version. Therefore, I had to do a repo copy, and basically hack the port to install files in a new location. >=20 >=20 > If anyone has a better solution for my little problem, tell me about it! There's also one other alternative. You can do something similar to what is done for Evolution/db3. That is, build pcre-utf8 as part of regexxer, and link it in statically. This is a mess, too, but if regexxer is the only port that will consume pcre-utf8, then it will save users some trouble with potential conflicts.
