These packages try to stay away from any software that is available
elsewhere in pkgsrc. So we don't use the included fontconfig, freetype2,
and expat. We realize that this may lead to rebuilding XFree86
more than desired (when fontconfig is updated, for instance) but we
believe that this is the best way to do things.
** NOTE: NOT NEEDED WITH NetBSD CURRENT **
** Make sure you have /usr/X11R6 before skip these steps **
You will not be able to install these packages if ${X11BASE} does
not exist. To work around this you could just create the directory
yourself, but for a more automated solution, find the block
. if defined(USE_X11) && !exists(${X11BASE})
PKG_FAIL_REASON+= "${PKGNAME} uses X11, but ${X11BASE} not found"
. endif
in bsd.pkg.mk, delete the PKG_FAIL_REASON line, and replace it with
@${MKDIR} ${X11BASE}
@${CHOWN} ${ROOT_USER}:${ROOT_GROUP} ${X11BASE}
@${CHMOD} ${PKGDIRMODE} ${X11BASE}
Note that those need to have a tab character in front of them.
** NOTE: NOT NEEDED WITH NetBSD CURRENT **
After making that change, you shouldn't have any (infrastructure)
problems.
Good luck!
This meta package has been tested and reported that works
perfectly on:
x86:
* FreeBSD 5.x
* NetBSD 1.6.x and -current
* GNU/Linux Debian sid
