--- Comment #3 from Toxic <toxic at doobie.com> ---

Thanks for catching that.  I haven't been testing on 9.x for a little while, as
I've upgraded all of my systems.

The zlib/pkg-config problem turns out to be just the beginning.  It's easily
fixed by passing environment variables to the configure script, by adding
something like this to Makefile:

CONFIGURE_ENV=  LOCALBASE="${LOCALBASE}" \
                zlib_LIBS="-lz " \
                zlib_CFLAGS=" "


But that just reveals a number of other build failures, that at first glance
seem to be related to differences between libc++ and stdlibc++.  I won't have
the free time to dig into it for at least a few days.  If someone else is
familiar with C++14, stdlibc++ and 9.3, and has the opportunity to take a look,
please do.

It might be just a matter of using a GNU compiler/toolchain on 9.3, which will
probably be the first thing I try when I next get the opportunity to dig in.

With that said, the EOL of FreeBSD 9 is 17 days away on Dec 31.  I'm inclined
to leave 16.4 as the supported Nzbget version through the end of the year, and
not have this port committed/updated until it's fair to drop 9.x support.
