brbrb, that's ugly, under fbsd you have the libmap... I think that it's only in current...true haha.

Well I pack pnet for pkgsrc and take the same problem, but it's a compilation problem: Just adding -Wl,-R/usr/X11R6/lib flags  to the linker this will no happend...

But the main problem is that after that:

[126:~/prg]$ cscc win.cs -winforms
[0:~/prg]$ ilrun  a.out 
/usr/pkg/lib/cscc/lib/libXsharpSupport.so: Undefined PLT symbol "FcPatternCreate" (symnum = 50)
[1:~/prg]$

that's an internal problem with X11Libs...exactly in libXft...that's because we're looking first in /usr/X11R6/lib libraries and in second term the user libs /usr/pkg/lib...

Well the simplest solution consists in building pnetlib without Xft2 support. Take a look:

=====================


In ports I think that it will be something similar....Fonts wouldn't be so clear but all will work fine.
