Yes, it is described in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/book.html#PORTING-SUBMITTING > The thing is, i wrote this hex editor: > http://www.freshmeat.net/projects/dhex which i am rather proud of. > and now i would like to spread it. You should create the port by yourself and become the maintainer or you should find some other person who will do it (and become the maintainer of the FreeBSD port for your software). > however, i am an openbsd user. so i don't know how to exactly make a > port for freebsd. There is a Porter's Handbook, http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/book.html but if you don't want to port the stuff (or have not enough time), I should say that having used DHEX for a couple of minutes I should say that it is a good tool for my ocassional hex-related work, so I can port and maintain it or I can help you to port it. And may I also suggest the attached patch to the DHEX Makefile: it will allow people to set their own values of CC, CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS. For example, FreeBSD has the stock settings for the CFLAGS and currently we can choose the compilers to be at least gcc or clang. The stuff is described in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/book.html#DADS-CC and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/book.html#DADS-CFLAGS Hope that sheds some light on the topic. And the additional nit: compiling dhex on the FreeBSD 9.x shows some signedness warnings: {{{ output.c: In function 'printmainmenu': output.c:410: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness output.c:411: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness output.c:412: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness output.c:413: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness output.c:414: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness output.c:415: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness output.c:416: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness output.c:417: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness output.c:418: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness output.c:419: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness output.c:422: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness output.c:423: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness output.c:424: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness output.c:425: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness output.c:426: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness output.c:427: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness output.c:428: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness output.c:429: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness output.c:430: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness output.c:431: warning: pointer targets in initialization differ in signedness main.c: In function 'main': main.c:450: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 3 of 'gotomask' differ in signedness main.c:459: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 4 of 'searchmask' differ in signedness main.c:509: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 3 of 'searchfor' differ in signedness configfile.c: In function 'readconfigfile': configfile.c:183: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 2 of 'getcolors' differ in signedness configfile.c:184: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 2 of 'configkeytab' differ in signedness }}} I am not sure if they are harmful or harmless, but I usually it worth to consider compiler's warnings. Don't know if you had seen them on the systems you were testing/using DHEX, so reproducing them there. -- Eygene Ryabinkin ,,,^..^,,, [ Life's unfair - but root password helps! | codelabs.ru ] [ 82FE 06BC D497 C0DE 49EC 4FF0 16AF 9EAE 8152 ECFB | freebsd.org ]
