Is X11 part of FreeBSD or isn't it? Surely it is not in /usr/local? What is the path? If it isn't part of FreeBSD and you are not using modular from pkgsrc, then where is it coming from? Why is that a good plan? > For purpose of testing my local build with an alternate pkg-config files local build of what? You are, I think, doing something unusual, and not explainging it well enough. Assume that we here have not run freebsd (or not in a long time) and don't know what's up, and that we have no idea what you are doing. > For what it's worth, after I'd encountered issues with libiconv and gettext > support under pkg builds in the builtin approach, I'd revered to > X11_TYPE=modular throughout the pkg builds, then using libiconv and gettext > libs from pkgsrc. Maybe the X11_TYPE=native approach is possible. The > modular approach might be much more succinct though, lol. modualr is likely easier. native ought to work, but you keep saying 'local' and local is not native. native means what the OS installs. Adjusting pkgsrc to use native for something you did instead is driving outside the guardrails. It's free software so you are welcome to do so but you should be very clear on that when posting so that people can decline to join you in offroading (which is how I will choose). I don't mean to be unkind - I wish you luck, but it is not something I wish to dig into.
