Hello, Since FreeBSD now has Clang and always had its own shell, a lot of dependencies and options like bash, gnu, hal, gcc, and gtk aren't needed for many ports to compile. Some programs (especially gtk affiliated and linux emulation programs) still fail without gmake, but there is gmake-lite for that.
The point is, I was able to compile programs by removing many of these dependencies from Makefile's, and reduced compile time from 2 hours to 5 minutes for emulators/wine, with no problems, and the program worked. I think there is a lot of bloat on ports, because it was imported, with only one knowhow of how to compile it. Now that this is pointed out, this way should be easier, and certain dependencies do have their BSD equilvalent replacements. Thanks. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
