This is a new port of latex2html-97.1. I noticed there was a submitted, and still open pr on a previous version. I tried this version and I couldn't even get it to fetch and I really didn't understand that port either so this is a completely new port of the latest version. Fix: I did do one (at least) weird thing in the port. I needed to check that netpbm was installed, but I didn't feel the port should be placed in /usr/X11R6 so I did a check for the anytopnm binary as: RUN_DEPENDS= ${PREFIX}/../X11R6/bin/anytopnm:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/netpbm I'm sure there's some more elegant way around this but I didn't know it. How-To-Repeat: I've put the port in : ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/incoming/latex2html-97.1.tar.gz Please don't confuse this w/ latex2html.tar.gz which is the old version sitting there NOT submitted by me. :-)
I noticed, when Ruslan commented about the varying ports for latex2html that have been submitted, that there is a small problem (relative to the current ports tree) w/ my port. At the time I was running an old version of teTeX and although I did fix the Makefile to look at the right directories to find the right paths for the current setup of teTeX I screwed up one of the patches..... duh. Anyway, patch-aa should be changed as follows: --- patch-old-aa Tue Nov 4 14:05:19 1997 +++ patch-aa Sun Nov 2 13:51:18 1997 @@ -24,8 +24,8 @@ # Give the paths to latex and dvips on your system: # -! $LATEX = "/usr/local/teTeX/bin/latex"; # LaTeX -! $DVIPS = "/usr/local/teTeX/bin/dvips"; # dvips +! $LATEX = "/usr/local/bin/latex"; # LaTeX +! $DVIPS = "/usr/local/bin/dvips"; # dvips # This specifies the type of images produced by latex2html when processing ie, the old patch was still pointing to /usr/local/teTeX/bin/ instead of the current path /usr/local/bin/ ********************************************************* Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu
