>Description:
I was cleaning out old unused ports, and one of the things that I deleted was
open-motif since there were no other ports registered as needing it. xemacs
stopped working. apparently, xemacs will find open-motif installed and link
against it, but not register it as a dependency.
>How-To-Repeat:
install open-motif
install xemacs
de-install open-motif
xemacs now fails to run with a missing libXm.
>Fix:
make the xemacs port either explicitly disable Motif support unless requested,
or make it auto detect when it is there and register the dependency.
i just rebuilt the xemacs port without the motif libs installed and that works
too.
