You can look at the symbol table of every file on the system associated to ports and grep for some common C++ symbols, but this is more trouble than it's worth. > The ports I'm most interested in are apache2, mod_php4, mysql40-server, > postfix and cyrus-imapd. > > Or should I more or less expect that I need to rebuild *all* the ports > anyway?

Which ports use C++?
Hello! I'm planning to upgrade one of my servers from RELENG_5_2 to RELENG_5_3. In my reading of /usr/src/UPDATING I have reached the entry of 20040728 which says that all programs written in C++ need to be recompiled. Ugh. Is there an easy way to find out whether particular port uses C++? I had a quick look at bsd.port.mk but didn't see anything. The ports I'm most interested in are apache2, mod_php4, mysql40-server, postfix and cyrus-imapd. Or should I more or less expect that I need to rebuild *all* the ports anyway? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
