[Please ensure any replies are cc'd to me, I'm not on the list] [Resent because nobody responded last time and I'm still stuck. Sorry.] I am currently trying to port AxKit (http://axkit.org/), which is a mod_perl application. It has a couple of problems that I can't work out, though. 1) AxKit needs a new version of libapreq (0.31_03), whereas the port www/p5-libapreq is only version 0.31. The new p5-libapreq isn't distributed outside of AxKit, as far as I can see. What should I do? Create an extra port to install libapreq and depend on that? But that would overwrite any existing p5-libapreq port. Alternatively, is there a way to say that a port depends upon another port *not* being installed? 2) AxKit uses Perl's XML::Parser module. However, when loaded into Apache, this causes conflicts with the version of expat loaded into Apache. I got around this by patching the apache port to include the "--disable-rule=EXPAT" flag to configure. But I have no idea how to get around this in general. Any ideas about these two? I'm kind of stumped. -Dom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
