SDL-image needs SDL 1.2.4. (It's configure checks for it.) Send-pr: pkg/20901: pkgsrc/devel/SDL/buildlink2.mk needs higher version (I emails gnats on 22/May/2003 because it appears that someone fixed this and it can be closed. Wiz closed shortly later.)

pkgsrc/archivers/gtar-base uses a msgfmt. The build accidently removes the fr.gmo if it is missing. (It is a ":" instead). I added "BUILD_USES_MSGFMT= YES". Send-pr: pkg/20916: gtar-base needs msgfmt. (Closed and fixed on 23/May/2003 by wiz.)

sysutils/e2fsprogs/Makefile has:

.include "../../mk/texinfo.mk"

But building on a Linux system, this failed, because makeinfo was not installed. Some operating systems may install a install-info without makeinfo. My workround for sysutils/e2fsprogs/Makefile:

.if !exists(/usr/bin/makeinfo)
BUILD_DEPENDS+=         gtexinfo>=3.12:../../devel/gtexinfo
.endif

Maybe mk/texinfo.mk should check for makeinfo also?
