Sure thing! I am waiting for the RC2 :-)
As for now I had tested once more build process, this time it was
automated with port Makefile build system - I had to apply only the
patch mentioned before (__FREEBSD__) + the appropriate define added to
the compiler.

I have unpacked renamed and packed again into a different filename to
remove the "-" mark :-)

Yeah, especially it was 0.14 here :-)

Yes sure, but I have abandoned this type of port some years ago when I
had problems with my super-advanced-memory-programmer-ECP-only so I
gave up in favour of the USB/Ethernet stuff... but I still remember
playing with LEDs on Amiga's parallel port ~15 years ago hahah :-)

Im not sure, but remember this thing caused troubles before, so it is
commented out and unavailable to select at config prompt :P


Best regards! :-)
