Since as yet xfce4 doesn't exist as a package, I tried to build xfce4 under 10.2 RELEASE using only defaults.
But the build fails in x11-toolkits because printbackend-cups.so is not found. -files.so and -lpr.so exist, but -cups.so does not That happened AFTER it spent 4.5 hours downloading a whole gigabyte of tex rubbish that gtk3 apparently wants. Since all I wanted at that point was graphics mode and xterm so I could debug samba more conveniently, I kept deselecting things and re-starting, trying to avoid having to waste those 4.5 hours. But nothing worked, and eventually I threw up my hands and let it do what it wanted -- which was to waste the 4.5 hours and then fail to build! I'm absolutely not trying to have a go at Olivier, the maintainer. He does yeoman work! I'm complaining about the kitchen-sink model that needlessly prevents coherent subsetting, needlessly steepens every learning curve, and needlessly makes maintenance harder. It's perverse and a violation of Unix principles. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
