Ports that need Xfce libraries or applications set USES=xfce.

Specific Xfce library and application dependencies are set with values assigned to USE_XFCE. They are defined in /usr/ports/Mk/Uses/xfce.mk. The possible values are:

Values of USE_XFCE

garcon: sysutils/garcon
libexo: x11/libexo
libgui: x11-toolkits/libxfce4gui
libmenu: x11/libxfce4menu
libutil: x11/libxfce4util
panel: x11-wm/xfce4-panel
thunar: x11-fm/thunar
xfconf: x11/xfce4-conf

Example 6.35. USES=xfce Example

USES=		xfce
USE_XFCE=	libmenu

Example 6.36. Using Xfce's Own GTK2 Widgets

In this example, the ported application uses the GTK2-specific widgets x11/libxfce4menu and x11/xfce4-conf.

USES=		xfce:gtk2
USE_XFCE=	libmenu xfconf

Tip:

Xfce components included this way will automatically include any dependencies they need. It is no longer necessary to specify the entire list. If the port only needs x11-wm/xfce4-panel, use:

USES=		xfce
USE_XFCE=	panel

There is no need to list the components x11-wm/xfce4-panel needs itself like this:

USES=		xfce
USE_XFCE=	libexo libmenu libutil panel

However, Xfce components and non-Xfce dependencies of the port must be included explicitly. Do not count on an Xfce component to provide a sub-dependency other than itself for the main port.
