Re: port of CodeLite

Hi Stuart!

Thank you so much. I've been able to build CodeLite from source code thanks to the port you gave me. The only issue I had was that I had to install sqlite3 from ports because the version installed from the package manager was sqlite3.37.30 instead of sqlite3.37.31 and I don't know why because I've updated both system base (to -CURRENT) and ports (using pkg_add -u) as described in the FAQ and OpenBSD guides (I did it yesterday afternoon).

I didn't have any problem running it on OpenBSD although I'll be testing some time. I didn't realize how difficult it was to build from source because when I started using it (four years ago) I started from the precompiled binaries available on the website so I'm sorry for that. 

NOTE: The problem you had with x11/wxWidgets,-media were caused for some dependency using the wxMediaCtrl (I had that problem too when I built from source code, but I don't remember if the problem was caused by the program or maybe a submodule).

So, thank you so much for your help. You saved me a lot of time.

It's a bit awkward because of the git submodules so I made a start at
writing a port to help out with that, but got carried away and got it
to build.

Seems to run OK in very light testing but I haven't tried anything fancy..

Not sure what's going on with x11/wxWidgets,-media; compiling fails if
the header isn't available but it doesn't seem to either link to or dlopen
the library.
