xnec2c is a GTK+ graphical interactive version of nec2c. It
incorporates the nec2c core which it uses for reading input files
and calculating output data, but it does not need and indeed does
not produce an output file by default. Since xnec2c incorporates
the nec2c core, it has access to all internal buffers, including
structure data, frequency-related data (structure currents, input
impedance, gain etc) and radiation pattern data (for the far field
and near field). It therefore has the ability to graphically display
user-requested data directly, as the frequency loop progresses or
after input from the user. Graphs of frequency-related data and
the current or charge distribution evolve as the frequency loop
progresses, and radiation patterns (far and near field) are
sequentially drawn for each frequency step. A new frequency can be
entered by the user from spin buttons in the main or radiation
pattern windows or by clicking on the graphs of frequency-related
data. New output data are then computed and displayed in text and
graphical form.
nec2c is a translation of the NEC2 FORTRAN source code to the C
language. The translation was performed mostly "by hand" and a
lot of modifications to the original program were introduced in
order to modernize the NEC2 and to remove as many built-in limitations
as possible. The attendant SOMNEC program was also translated to
C and incorporated in nec2c as a function so that Sommerfeld ground
solutions are a part of the program.
to address issues with NetBSD-6(and earlier)'s fontconfig not being
new enough for pango.
While doing that, also bump freetype2 dependency to current pkgsrc
version.
Suggested by tron in PR 47882
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
- Remove patches/patch-src_throb_throb.cxx

OK'ed by gdt@ and thanks marino@,
2.3 1) Added the ability to do a partial search on callsign. This allows
you to search for a prefix<area> or on a full callsign as in
prefix<area><suffix>
pkgsrc changes:
Set LICENSE.
Adapt to more modern upstream.
Change to fltk13.
Rototill upstream's makefile to use CXX to compile C++.
As discussed on pkgsrc-users, x11/ftlk (1.1) is no longer maintained,
and 1.3 is believed to be almost entirely compatible.
Patch from Tim Larson, who has build-tested these packages on
NetBSD/amd64.
GRIG 0.8.0:
- Frequency entry via keypad (thanks to Alessandro Zummo).
- Arrow LEFT/RIGHT will change the frequency with the smallest step. This can
be used for tuning using external devices like the Powermate.

Many more small (and a couple not so small) bug fixes all over the tree
the build on -current. A better fix would be to add a -lexecinfo test
to the configure script, but that requires regenerating with an old
version of autoconf... not tonight.
