There are two substantial benefits in hacking it into XFree86-4-libs: . the usual X-clients (XTerm, etc.) will use it too, reducing run-time RAM usage, by sharing more libraries with Qt-based programs; . none of the Xft2 aware software will need the -lXft to -lXft2 and Xft.h to Xft2.h patching -- the Mozilla with whatever GNOME/GTK will just work. Kind of like the freetype2 dependency currently in XFree86-4-libs... The only reason not to do it, IMHO -- Eric's call -- is that 4.3.0 may be out soon...

It is. But without patching it will include Xft.h and link with -lXft ignoring the Xft2. Because Xft2.h and -lXft2 are FreeBSD's own -- the rest of the world does not have them, AFAIK. -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
