You need to read the MLINKS stuff in bsd.port.mk, not the MLINKS stuff in bsd.man.mk. I can save you a bit of trouble, and tell you that you must just list all linked manpages (whether the port installs them itself or not, wether they are hardlinks or symlinks) in the same fashion as the above-quoted example. The bsd.port.mk version of MLINKS is slightly less trivial than the bsd.man.mk version, but it makes a much more interesting read (saying that as its author :-). > In my first try, I did what the existing port did (put them in PLIST), but > in the second one I just listed all of them in MANX.

Yes, you are entirely correct. My mistake. Sorry. -- Me. Who'd you think sent this? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
