Re-attached for convenience. The port looks okay and it does build. The game seems to play. However, it consistently throws errors about sound files: [critical] freeciv21-client - Can't open file "/usr/local/share/freeciv21/stdmusic/Per-Kiilstofte__Battle-of-Kings.ogg" [info] freeciv21-client - Starting freeciv21-server at /usr/local/bin/freeciv21-server [critical] freeciv21-client - Can't open file "/usr/local/share/freeciv21/stdsounds/foot3.ogg" That last one repeats each time I move a unit. The files _are_ there though. Nitpick: The lines in the DESCR go right up to 80 columns. I usually prefer the results from running the DESCR through fmt(1) That said, ok kmos for import if you're okay with the sound being broken. --Kurt
