Is there a mechanism for suggesting a package to be added to the Ports Collection? I have been personally trying to port synopsis 0.7 ( http://synopsis.fresco.org/index.html) with no success so far. Synopsis is a general source code documentation tool wiith (currently) support for C++ and Python. When I try to build the code, I lose traction in a source file that wants to use the g++ math library. I don't _think_ the port should be particularly difficult... for someone who understands such things. The build system requires a Posix environment with GNU make and GNU autoconf installed. Unfortunately, Python/C/C++ is not my forte and the folks on the synopsis mailing list don't use FreeBSD. I'd surely love to see synopsis added to the Ports collection. -- - Vicki Vicki Brown ZZZ Journeyman Sourceror: SF Bay Area, CA zz |\ _,,,---,,_ Scripts & Philtres http://www.cfcl.com/ zz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ Code, Docs, Process, QA http://cfcl.com/vlb/ |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Perl, Unix, Mac OS X, WWW _____________________ '---''(_/--' `-'\_) ___________________________
