Is it possible to compile the new rdesktop with sound support and get it to work? On my Intel iMac, I have installed both oss and libao but the port doesn't appear to detect this fact.

If I do a ./configure --help in the source of 1.5, I see: --with-libao=DIR look for libao at DIR/include, DIR/lib --with-sound select sound system ("oss", "sgi", "sun" or "libao") So configure args need to be added. Perhaps this should be done in a variant, it all depends on how likely it is the average user would want this and how cumbersome those installs are. If many or most would want it and/or installing libao and oss are quick then sound support could be added as default install. If a variant: variant sound_support { depends_lib-append configure-args-append --with-libao=${prefix}/whatever --with-sound=oss (if it doesn't find oss would require some patching of configure script) } If no variant, just add the above configure.args to the current ones in the port. Just edit your local rdesktop Portfile to test it. If you get it working, submit your patch of the current Portfile so we can commit the changes to the repository. Mark
