I don't know how many times I can say this, but let me try to explain once more: your port should be buildable with the default settings of all ports involved. This means that you can't place special requirements like "you have to first install mysql 3.x, then install the php4-mysql port, then install this port", because that is too non-generic and will not be true on systems that already have php4-mysql installed with the default mysql client. The solution, which I explained several messages ago, is to make an alternative php4-mysql3 port, which always depends on mysql 3.x, and use that instead of php4-mysql (it may need to conflict with php4-mysql, I don't know). This really isn't very hard and you perhaps could have done it already by now :) Kris --Q68bSM7Ycu6FN28Q Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFFEHijWry0BWjoQKURAm9/AKCMhLn0fJ9efq04n7qSjKUp0DldZgCfS4Wl 0d6YeqNJzUTnVNNghRJaS7k= =ZWGU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Q68bSM7Ycu6FN28Q--
