This will not work when FreeBSD supports both a.out and elf libraries. Changed the check for the DES library to use the ldconfig program. Corrected check for shtml.dll in FrontPageXlate, so that it will replace shtml.dll with shtml.exe . A suggestion was made to remove the check for the descrypt symbolic link from the Makefile , and instead change the apache sources to use descrypt instead of crypt . Removed descrypt symbolic link check from Makefile , and added a patch that changes the Configure file to use descrypt library in instead of the crypt library.
Some clients use shtml.dll instead of shtml.exe .
Patching a Patch makes maintaining the port harder. Some installations fail to use DES for passwords, even when the DES libraries are installed. Added additional check, which looks for a link from libcrypt.a to libdescrypt.a. Updated port to use new FrontPage Extensions. Unable to open website due to fpsrvadm.exe uses DES to store passwords.
