Here's Yet Another Way(tm) aside from all the others people have offered: wopr:/usr/ports/audio/xmcd$ make run-depends-list /usr/ports/graphics/xpm /usr/ports/x11/XFree86 wopr:/usr/ports/audio/xmcd$ make build-depends-list /usr/ports/graphics/xpm /usr/ports/x11/XFree86 "Build depends" are things you need to build the port. "Run depends" are things you need to use the software after it's installed. Often, as in the case above, they're the same. -- Matthew Hunt <mph@astro.caltech.edu> * UNIX is a lever for the http://www.pobox.com/~mph/ * intellect. -J.R.
