Hi, I need to modify a file from a port before building. Specifically, the sane-backends pnm.c driver has a bug and the folks at the original project has not fixed for a while. I need to modify pnm.c in the work directory before compiling. What is an elegant way of doing this? If I make and then modify, the main make file does not see the change made in the file and will not recompile. And since there is no actual makefile in the work subdirectory I can't compile there either! There must be a FreeBSD way of dealing with modifying a port source before compiling. Please advise. Thanks in advance, Alejandro Imass
