When you use the ports system, you can see the normal source distribution in
the /usr/ports/(category)/(port)/work folder. So if you go into :
/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/wxGTK26/work/wxGTK-2.6.1
you see the "normal" installation hierarchy. INSTALL.txt gives you more
installation options, and reading the configure script file in there gives
you even more. You'll see in configure an option called '--enable-mediactrl'.
Edit the Makefile in /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/wxGTK26 to add that flag to the
configure run. After you do this, you'll want to go into the work folder and
run make clean, then go back to the wxGTK26 folder and re-run make && make install.
I think there is some way to tell the make to redo stuff because you've changed
the config options, but I can never remember the variable to set.
