Description Alex Dupre 2002-01-22 19:10:00 UTC 
The PDFLib (Version 3) library to dynamically generate PDF files is no longer
developed and supported. It's impossible to build the port since the
distribution archive is vanished (as Bento reported). The actual version is PDFLib 4.0.1 (Version 4).

Fix: 

Create the pdflib4 port as reported in
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=33725
and update the dependences of the ports which require this library.
How-To-Repeat: Just build the port or any port that require it.

I suggest we simply call this port pdflib instead of pdflib4.  Attached is 
my cleanup of the port submitted as 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=33725

The cleanup mainly consists of sorting pkg-plist and adding 
%%PERL_VER%%/%%PERL_ARCH%% macros so this port will work on -CURRENT as 
well as -STABLE.

The library version was bumped to .4 since the pdflib3 port had bumped it 
to .3 already.

And some trivial post-install target cleanup.  Does the same thing in a 
more ports like fashion. :)

I agree with you. We may simply call this port pdflib. I merged your
adjustments with mine.
The differences are:
- USE_PERL5 is now enabled
- patch-configure is in the shar
- INSTALL_MAN is used instead of INSTALL_DATA for the docs
