SOLVED: Why is the build so fragile?

[Jens Schweikhardt]

To answer the "Subject:" question:
- because there are many components sensitive to certain make variables.

Problem: Build fails due to missing include files within the mozilla
         sub project as follows
[...]
/usr/ports/editors/openoffice-1.1/work/oo_1.1_src/connectivity/source/drivers/mozab/mozillasrc/MDatabaseMetaDataHelper.cxx:63:
MNSInclude.hxx:106:21: msgCore.h: No such file or directory

MNSInclude.hxx:119:29: nsIAbDirFactory.h: No such file or directory


Reason:  /etc/make.conf set the WITHOUT_MAILNEWS=yes make variable.

Solution: Remove WITHOUT_MAILNEWS=yes from /etc/make.conf.

Martin, maybe it's a good idea to augment the port Makefile with
.undef WITHOUT_MAILNEWS
at the right spot. I also had WITHOUT_CHATZILLA=yes, but this seems not to
affect the build.
