You didn't answer his question. :-) The correct answer is: XFree86 4.x includes GL and FreeType2 libraries, but they are incomplete in various ways. So you are forced to make up for it by having special exceptions made in their original sources for XFREE86_VERSION=4. Therefore the freetype2 and Mesa3 ports will only install what XFree86 4.x is missing, IFF XFREE86_VERSION=4 is specified in /etc/make.conf. The magic is pretty well interwoven in Mk/bsd.port.mk, graphics/Mesa3, and print/freetype2. -- wca To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
