Ideally, the xpm dependencies should hide in a >bsd.xfree*.mk file with XF86_VERSION=4 causing the dependency to >"vanish." They do. That's what USE_XPM does. Unfortunately, that only works at build time. Even if the two libs and headers sets were identical, it still poses a problem in that you have multiple packages in the pkgdb that think they own the same files. Not good. Mesa is another case. It overwrites the libGL stuff, and the dependencies on libGL are problematic, because Mesa uses libGL.so.14 and XF86-4 uses libGL.so.1. So the difference trails you all the way to everything dependent on GL needing to be built differently. I think I'm going to be sick now. -- Alan Eldridge "Dave's not here, man."
