Nothing in /usr/local is going to be changed until "make install" (or "make deinstall" respectively) is executed. In /usr/local/include header files are _installed_ for accessing library functions, mostly a means for programmers to interface with software. But it's correct that you mention /usr/local/include/libpng/pngconf.h here. It's not to be changed by "make configure", but it will be created by "make install", reflecting the properties libpng has been installed with; it's a "machine configurable file for libpng" by its own declaration. It belongs to the png port, _not_ to the port configuration subsystem (which is _independent_ from the ports theirselves. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
