Thanks for the response Kris.

I see what you are saying about builds and machines, but do you know why
this port is broken? I'm not trying to use packages, I want to use
ports. In other words, if it's been broken for a long time (especially
for all architectures) why wouldn't it be marked as broken? Do you know
of a planned fix for the port?

Since I really needed Avidemux working, I got the source tarball direct
from the Avidemux site and compiled it myself in my home directory. I
was able to use the libjs.so from the spidermonkey work directory and
thankfully that was enough for it to compile properly.

Thanks again.
