I'm trying to make a port for xmailwatcher, an X based mailwatcher (!). I've checked with portlint and it says `looks fine'. I then tried to follow the testing procedure in the Porter's Handbook. - make install works fine. - make deinstall gives me: ===> Deinstalling for xmailwatcher-1.6 pkg_delete: couldn't open dependency file `/var/db/pkg/XFree86-3.3.6_7/+REQUIRED_BY' but it does remove the files installed by the port. I can understand this to some extent as I'm running X 4.0.2. - pkg_add xmailwatcher-1.6.tgz gives me: pkg_add: could not find package XFree86-3.3.6_7 ! HELP ! Can any one give me a few pointers please ? Here's the Makefile: # New ports collection makefile for: xmailwatcher # Date created: 3 II 2001 # Whom: Harry Newton # # $FreeBSD$ # PORTNAME= xmailwatcher PORTVERSION= 1.6 CATEGORIES= mail MASTER_SITES= ftp://ftp.dcs.ed.ac.uk/pub/X11/ DISTNAME= xmailwatcher MAINTAINER= harry_newton@telinco.co.uk MAN1= xmailwatcher.1 USE_IMAKE= yes USE_XPM= yes post-install: strip ${PREFIX}/bin/xmailwatcher .include <bsd.port.mk> Thanks, Harry -- Harry Newton harry_newton `at' telinco.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
