Setting X11BASE there was expedient: ---------------------------- revision 1.5 date: 1994/09/04 02:52:27; author: jkh; state: Exp; lines: +5 -1 Add an X11BASE variable that currently points to /usr/X386 but will be easy to change to /usr/X11R6 if and when the time comes. This is to deal with things like xditview which otherwise had hardcoded assumptions about where X lived. Yuck. Submitted by: jkh ---------------------------- but jhk recently removed xditview to complete the removal of X from the source tree, so there is no need for X11BASE in the source tree now. It is only referenced in make.conf (defined there), porting.sgml (documented for bsd.ports.mk there), sys.mk (usual default defined there) and bsd.port.mk (defined there). Bruce
