[tex-live] Texlive native OpenBSD port

[Edd Barrett]

Hello,

I'm new to these parts of the woods so hello!

I am interested in making texlive available from the ports/packages
collection of OpenBSD.

I have two problems:

a) I am unable to have texlive link against all of the system
binaries. I have managed to have freetype and freetype2 linked
dynamically, but not any of the others.

This is the configure command Im using:

CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --datadir=/usr/local/share \
                        --bindir=/usr/local \
                        --with-fontconfig=/usr/X11R6   \
                        --with-system-freetype2 \
                        --with-freetype2-libdir=/usr/X11R6/lib \
                        --with-freetype2-include=/usr/X11R6/include

All of the packages apart from ICU are installed on my system (ICU is
not ported as far as i can see, so obviously it wont link that. I'll
cross this bridge later)

Do you know if the "link against system libary" options all work? If
so what is te correct way to use them (on OpenBSD).

b) Dialog appears to be misbehaving.

Systrace is a tool that can detect applications using system calls
that it shouldnt. Kind of like a windows firewall for system calls.
You can add USE_SYSCTL = Yes to /etc/mk.conf whilst developing ports
to have systrace stop the build if a port trys to do something it
shouldnt.

Dialog is trying to write out of its prefix (or atleast it appears that way):

gmake[4]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'.

Stop in /usr/ports/mystuff/texlive_base (line 1995 of

Is it ignoring its --prefix option?

Thanks for your help.
