Hi There, I'm having a go at porting texlive, as teTeX is now unmaintained. I have to say that I'm not really familiar with the porting system. I have only read the docs on the OBSD web page.
I have started with the base set of compilers and filters etc (latex, pdflatex ...). make fetch, extract and build appear to work fine, but during make package a certain part of the port is trying to write /usr (even using CONFIGURE_STYLE= gnu dest). install -c -s -o root -g bin -m 555 dialog /usr/local/tcdialog systrace: deny user: root, prog: /usr/bin/install, pid: 20433(0)[19859], policy: /usr/bin/env, filters: 184, syscall: native-fswrite(10), filename: /usr/local/tcdialog Thankyou systrace! Here is the Makefile I have so far (It is no-where near finished): # $OpenBSD: Makefile.template,v 1.46 2005/11/12 00:07:22 sturm Exp $ COMMENT= "The texlive LaTeX distribution (base)" DISTNAME= texlive_base-2007 PKGNAME= texlive_base-2007 CATEGORIES= print HOMEPAGE= http://tug.org/texlive/ MAINTAINER= Edd Barrett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> #TODO #WANTLIB= ???

I refer you to this thread: http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2007-April/013445.html Have I missed something here? Also is anyone else interested in helping me port the rest of this package. Still to come is the texmf tree pkg and the format files pkg. teTeX has been dead for a year now, so OpenBSD is in need of a latex distribution (yes the texlive cd has some binaries on it, bt a pkg is far more convenient) Thanks for your help -- Best Regards Edd
