Not only of RefDB, but I'm also the root evil of all libdbi and libdbi-drivers
problems :-)
I'm not really familiar with the FreeBSD ports Makefile logic, so I may be off
track here. But I've already discussed with Paul that one of the problems here
is that the libdbi library is unversioned (i.e. libdbi.so.0 for all versions).
Would it be easier to define the dependencies if I'd finally manage to
understand libtool's support for library versioning? If I understand this
correctly, we could test for the existence of libdbi.so.1 (or whatever the
version number would jump to) if we need that particular version.
regards,
Markus
