Is there a mechanism for suggesting a package to be added to the
Ports Collection?
I have been personally trying to port synopsis 0.7 (
http://synopsis.fresco.org/index.html) with no success so far.
Synopsis is a general source code documentation tool wiith
(currently) support for C++ and Python.
When I try to build the code, I lose traction in a source file that
wants to use the g++ math library. I don't _think_ the port should
be particularly difficult... for someone who understands such things.
The build system requires a Posix environment with GNU make and GNU
autoconf installed.
Unfortunately, Python/C/C++ is not my forte and the folks on the
synopsis mailing list don't use FreeBSD.
I'd surely love to see synopsis added to the Ports collection.
