When using tin newsreader from ports collection for reading national newsgroups you're finishing soon with messages full of question marks because tin was configured for strict MM_CHARSET obeyance. Fix: Just add --disable-mime-strict-charset to configure options, as follows: It might be preferable also to change --with-mime-default-charset=US-ASCII to smth like --with-mime-default-charset=${MM_CHARSET:-US-ASCII}, but the only --disable-mime-strict-charset switch has a principal meaning. Worth of mentioning, tin has now --with-x and --with-Xaw3d configure options which might be added to the user selectable conditional includes (consider it the wish list). Finally, it's better to display the message like libxml2 port does, to let the user choose the desirable options for building tin. That's all, thank you in advance.--UIOkegruK6GbaPtdswAPawwVaPFl4x6uq6td5b9qBrdStEfA Content-Type: text/plain; name="file.diff" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="file.diff" --- Makefile.orig Wed Jan 8 15:25:11 2003 +++ Makefile Wed Jan 8 15:25:27 2003 @@ -32,6 +32,7 @@ --with-screen=ncurses \ --enable-break-long-lines \ --with-libiconv-prefix=${LOCALBASE} \ + --disable-mime-strict-charset \ --with-mime-default-charset=US-ASCII CONFIGURE_ENV= CFLAGS='${CFLAGS} -DNNTP_SERVER_FILE="\"${PREFIX}/etc/nntpserver\""' \ CPPFLAGS='${CPPFLAGS} -I${LOCALBASE}/include' \ How-To-Repeat: Just update ports collection, then cd to news/tin and type make all install After tin package is built and installed. run it and watch results.
