I've got a few questions about the new GNOME handling and stuff to go along with it, mainly the esound bits. I'll use the gaim port as an example, since I'm in the process of updating it. In the Makefile, there's WANT_GNOME and WANT_ESOUND both equal to yes. Down a little further, there's this: .if defined(HAVE_GNOME) USE_GNOME= yes CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --enable-gnome --enable-panel .else CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --disable-gnome .endif .if defined(HAVE_ESOUND) USE_ESOUND= yes CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --enable-esd .else CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --disable-esd .endif Here's where I see a problem. I didn't build with HAVE_ESOUND defined, but since it's installed on my system, it's using it anyway. I noticed it's doing the same thing with xmms (which is building as I type this), and IIRC, it does the same with GNOME. IMO, this is not a good thing. If I don't want to build something with GNOME or ESOUND and it's found on the system, the port is using it anyway. Am I missing something here? What do I need to do in order to build without that stuff? On a side note, I've had some not too happy people email me regarding the changes -- mainly talking about xchat/xchat-devel. Before it was only necessary to have gnomelibs installed, but now since the knob to build with the panel has been removed and it's part of the HAVE_GNOME definition, it builds *all* of GNOME. It seems a lot of people (including myself) would prefer just gnomelibs for the nicer icons, etc., but don't want all of GNOME installed. Just my, and others', $0.02. - jim -- jim mock <jim@jmock.com> work: jim@osd.bsdi.com | jim@FreeBSD.org http://soupnazi.org/ BSDi Open Source Div | http://bsdi.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
