Description Martin Birgmeier 2026-07-20 07:54:25 UTC 
Scenario:
- FreeBSD stable/15 at 41c9c5f4b3e3
- ports latest
- using portmaster to build graphics/wings which depends on lang/erlang
- selecting the non-default options WX and JAVA for lang/erlang

Result:
- The build fails with errors seemingly related to deprecated wx features

Expected result:
- The build should succeed for any combination of options ;-)

Notes:
- Make log attached

Hmmm... portmaster then goes on to compile lang/erlang-wx, and this succeeds.

So lang/erlang probably should not even have a WX option?

Or the patch in lang/erlang-wx/files should be copied to lang/erlang/files?

It seems the WX option must be removed, or rather replaced by a dependency on lang/erlang-wx.
