Talking behind my back now? :P Ok, initial patch done (not staged atm) however I just realised I cannot test it... it will only work on 10.x (by default).. will need to add the dependancy of ports/security/openssl for anything prior.. and I can't test that (all my build servers are required to use openssl 0.9.x atm :/ ) I'll see what I can do about bringing up a new VM, for 10.x (and/or 9.x + security/openssl) but that's not going to happen tonight... sorry... > >> But if you want to start digging into this in general, I can only >> encourage >> you to learn this. > > I'll definitely do this. Looking at the manpage of make as we speak. manpage? .. hmm.. make manpage may or may not help without knowledge of C and what the makefile is actually doing you're not going to get any useful info there... (sorry - but this port requires patches - which I have converted the original to newer/individual format (separate in files/*) and that's not easy unless you know what you are doing in C.) I'll continue along as far as I can and if it's only testing on a compatible version of the OS, I'll send a patch for you to try (though if it doesn't patch immediately you will have issues.)
