(see my original message for the reason.) btw, jeremy lea's suggestion (via private mail) of undoing the changes and using -DWITHOUT_GNOME option did the trick. > I would like to suggest you to obtain some glue about how the ports > system works first (for > example, read Porter's Handbook) and then look back at your changes > to find why it was failing. > > -Maxim i thought the porter's handbook was only for those, well, porters. i will see it later. -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
