The man page for 'make' is written in an obscure dialect of Martian, however I uncommented the /usr/ports/net/cvsup/Makefile as -- '# To build the client without GUI support: MAKE_ENV= M3FLAGS=-DNOGUI' and tried 'make install' in /usr/ports/net/cvsup once again -- with the same results -- failed in the same place -- and that presents a conundrum... I didn't install XFree because the machine is a "server" (complete with a 13" mono monitor). Something else must have installed some X11R6 files as dependancies? One of the reasons I installed FreeBSD was because I could omit the superfluous XFree installation. (The other reason: it would install over the Internet.) On my desktop machine I've installed FreeBSD 2.2.7 **with** X11R6 (and support for Linux binaries, and KDE...) But I've got a 17" monitor there -- and a decent display adapter. If I must install X11R6 so that Modula-3/cvsup can be installed, I will; it just seems silly because I can't realistically use it and have no reason to try? cheerfully, craig burgess To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
