for a long changelog between these releases. Summary: vastly improved arm,
mips and ppc support. Lots of new CPUs and a better dynamic code generator
for the instructions emulated. Vastly improved hardware device emulation.

This fixes installation failure on amd64 in some circumstances.

The manual page of doscmd (man doscmd) still states the
following:
"and then typing make install in the source directory (nor-
mally /usr/src/usr.bin/doscmd). For this to work, the X
programmer's kit must have been installed."
However doscmd is no longer part of the base system. So it
should should say "/usr/ports/emulators/doscmd" instead.

revision number. It may help to avoid unwanted version bump to
vmware-tools5 if vmware-guestd5 specific changes are happen to
vmware-guestd5/Makefile.
Since no content changes at this time, no bump.
VMware Workstation FreeBSD-guest related ports for VMware Workstation
5.5.0 build 18463.
New features are:
- Spell "VMware Workstation" appropriately.
There are much VMware products, it would be the time that I have
to spell VMware Workstation as VMware Workstation.
- Support FreeBSD/amd64 since 64-bit binaries are provided from VMware.
I don't test any of 64-bit related portion, since I have no
FreeBSD/amd64 machine. If something trouble please email me.
- New variable "WITH_VMWARE_GTK" (emulators/vmware-tools5)
Install gtk version of VMware Tools if defined
(add more dependencies on other gtk-related ports)
- New variable "WITH_VMWARE_VMXNET" (emulators/vmware-guestd5)
Install "vmxnet.ko" kernel module (vmxnet driver) if defined
Usage:
- shutdown FreeBSD guest VM
- add following line to FreeBSD guest VM config file
Ethernet0.virtualDev="vmxnet"
- Boot FreeBSD guest VM
- load vmxnet.ko kernel module
- ifconfig vxn0 ...
New rc.conf variable "vmware_guest_vmxnet_enable" is also added
to vmware-guestd.sh to load kernel module at startup. However,
${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/vmware-guestd.sh run _after_ /etc/rc.d/netif,
so it maybe too late to load here...
Note that vmxnet.ko supports FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE or later, and
5.3-RELEASE and later (as VMware said). I've confirmed that
recent 7-current got 100% instant panic if vmxnet.ko is loaded.
- "vmware_guest_kmod_enable" is renamed to "vmware_guest_vmmemctl_enable"
Now this ports has two kernel modules now, old name is not
appropriate one, hard to understand this variable is for which
kernel module. I also put backward compatibility code, but users
of vmware_guest_kmod_enable please change variable name.
Bugfixes are:
- Resolve conflicts on ${PREFIX}/share/vmware-tools.
Unfortunately both vmware-guestd5 and vmware-tools5 installs
files to ${PREFIX}/share/vmware-tools directory. Since this
directory is only for vmware-tools, vmware-guestd5 doesn't do
anything for now.
- WWW: line in pkg-descr points bogus page.
- Add note that there's official VMware Tools installer, and what is the
difference between the two.
Finally, as usual, bump PORTVERSION.
Leverage SUB_FILES instead of literal sed to handle /etc/rc.d/000.wine.sh
and pkg-message, which allows us to remove the post-extract target and
fixes the long standing issue of showing the correct prefix in pkg-message.

empty tarballs. Add ibiblio.org as an alternative download site and make
it the default for now.
Inspired by ports/89442 by Andrew P. <infofarmer@gmail.com>.
Note: this port sets RESTRICTED because the Neo-Geo BIOS
must be downloaded manually and can not be redistributed.
So ports/LEGAL should be updated. These are the file names:
"neo-geo.rom", "ng-lo.rom", "ng-sfix.rom", and "ng-sm1.rom".
These files are also listed in the "NGBIOS" variable in the
Makefile of the port.
GnGeo is a NeoGeo emulator for Linux (and maybe some other
UNIX). It use the following cpu core:
* The 68k core from the generator project by James Ponder.
* Starscream 680x0 emulation library by Neill Corlett
* Raze Z80 emulator by Richard Mitton.
* Z80 Mame core from the Mame project.
* YM2610 Mame core by Tatsuyuki Satoh.
