It would be nice if we could create wxneeded executables *after* link time. It would then be easy to tweak ports that use libs like PyQtWebkit/Qt5Webkit to point at eg /usr/local/bin/python2.7-wxneeded. In the meantime, I think this is the way to go. ok jca@ -- jca | PGP: 0x1524E7EE / 5135 92C1 AD36 5293 2BDF DDCC 0DFA 74AE 1524 E7EE
