Thanks for the points with WANTLIB and RUN_DEPENDS, but i cant agree with your point about automake/autoconf. I think that direct patching of generated configure scripts is an extremely questionable thing, especially when you have access to original *.ac/*.m4 files, and can patch source of the problem and generate proper configure script. AFAIK openbsd ports intended for package building and not for installing of software (well in most cases), so i see no problem in usage of autoconf/automake stuff for package building. libtclx84.so.X.X is not in the ldconfig cache, it is loaded when you loading tclx package with 'package require Tclx' in your script, but it is a shared library nonetheless. Should we or not track it with SHARED_LIBS ? I am not sure, probably should. But i think somebody of more experienced folks can correct/enlighten me. I think we should merge efforts with tclx port,to get it into the tree :) Regards Valery
