You folks are wonderful. :-) Now for some questions and issues to resolve this once and for all. How could I have possibly known that this option (WITH_VIDEO=yes) was required? I looked back at when I last built www/webkit-gtk2 and that was here: -rw-r--r-- 0 root wheel 215 Jan 19 2010 webkit/options In that file I found: WITHOUT_VIDEO=yes So about a year ago www/webkit-gtk2 built just fine WITHOUT the video option. What changed? I checked and there is no match (using grep) in the /usr/ports/UPDATING file (whose first entry dates from 20080108): % grep -i webkit /usr/ports/UPDATING % So I wouldn't have found anything there. I see in the Makefile that WITH_VIDEO has a default of "on". That must not have been the case a year ago. Should I blame the www/xxxterm for having a dependency on www/webkit-gtk2? During the attempted build of www/xxxterm I was not asked for any options for www/webkit-gtk2 since I had a previous file /var/db/ports/webkit/options from back about a year ago. This is now a moot point, since the port did build correctly with this change (thanks again!), but for completeness sake and for my own sanity, how would I have been able to avoid this problem? Thanks. :-) Regards, web... -- William Bulley Email: web@umich.edu 72 characters width template ----------------------------------------->|
