The following reply was made to PR ports/146920; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Jesse Smith <jessefrgsmith@yahoo.ca> To: Naram Qashat <cyberbotx@cyberbotx.com> Cc: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: ports/146920: Allegro runtime and Allegro-devel libraries incompatible Date: Tue, 25 May 2010 08:39:14 -0300 Naram, Thank you for your quick reply. I think that clears things up for me. The issue I had run into was my code was written to work with Allegro 4.2 and I found 4.3 was missing a function I was using. However, following your advice, I've made some changes and my package is compiling again.

For one, the devel/allegro port will be updated to 4.4.1.1 as soon as I can get some more time to finish patching it for FreeBSD and making sure those patches work. For two, devel/allegro-devel is meant to be Allegro's developmental version and does not necessarily need to be compatible with devel/allegro in any way, and as such, once I get devel/allegro updated, I will be updating devel/allegro-devel to 4.9.19. So basically, I would say is it up to the maintainers of ports relying on any Allegro ports to side with one of the ports and not rely on the other port. I can't force them into doing so, however. Thanks, Naram Qashat
