Message-ID: <19990115135030.A11056@eborcom.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95i Sender: owner-freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I am trying to port an application which requires Qt functionality not included in the FreeBSD Qt port. The application depends on libqimgio, which is included in extensions/imageio in the Qt distfile, but which is not installed by the Qt port. It seems to me there are two ways to deal with this, but I'm unsure which is best. 1) Modify the Qt port to install the imageio extensions. In my new port, as well as specifying USE_QT, check that the Qt version installed includes these extensions. If the extensions are not present, print an error message to the user. 2) Create a separate qt-imageio port which just installs this extension. I'd appreciate any comments on how I should deal with this. Thanks, Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
