Having trouble with the www/seamonkey port

2009-05-12 Thread Chuck Robey
I have a new OpenBSD-4.5 system. I've got an updated copy of the cvs archive, so I'm sure I have a *very* recent copy of the ports. I wanted a couple of ports installed before I began my main work on this new system, and that was (1) cvsup (this worked fine) and (2) a browser. I picked www/seamo

I've been trying to get seamonkey to build for myself for several days now, I can't seem to find out how to fix it. I've made really sure it can't possibly have anything whatever to do with versions of OpenBSD, because I moved both my kernel, the userland, and the ports files all to their current

I'm having problems figuring out things, in producing the editors/vim port. The DESCR file gives me a good list of the flavors I can use, but I've got a problem, because I need two of these flavors (gtk2 and python). I have 2 problems here: (1), I don't know how to format the FLAVORS variable

I finally have a browser working on a Zaurus palmtop: dillo. it's got, from what I see, really only one drawback: it can't handle frames (it knows enough so, like many text browsers, it lets you decide which frame to show). As far as useability goes, this is pretty darn good!
