Depends on the port -- sometimes the port maintainer did not specify all the dependencies in a proper manner. Sometimes, some dependencies are not needed in every use case, so they are marked optional. There are many different reasons how this can be resolved. -- p...@opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 3 years to go ! _______________________________________________ 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"
