discrepancy between WV2 and LIBGSF Header files?

[Eygene Ryabinkin]

Bob, good day!

I doubt that this posting should go into the freebsd-hackers, but
nevertheless ;))

Please, undo these changes and try to build your port with command
'CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include/libgsf-1 make clean install clean'.
This should clean your build, point the preprocessor to the right
location of the gsf/gsf.h, build your port once again, install it
and clean the build area.

PRs are welcome: they are made through send-pr utility. The maintainer
for the port can be looked up using the following command:
$ grep MAINTAINER /usr/ports/editors/koffice-kde3/Makefile
MAINTAINER=     kde at FreeBSD.org

You can Cc your problem report to him. And if 'CFLAGS' trick will do
the work, you can mention it in the report.

But previous to sending the PR, look into the PR database: maybe your
bug is already reported, but was not handled yet.

See http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html for the long explanation and
links.
