<p>When building GNOME ports, remember that many applications
require shared directories in <tt>${PREFIX}/share/gnome</tt>. Ports
should be constructed in a way such that files placed in these
directories are removed before the package which created the
directories (i.e. the package that has an appropriate
<tt>@dirrm</tt> in its pkg-plist). For GNOME, the principle
parent port is <tt>gnomecore</tt>. If your port incudes
<tt>USE_GNOME= yes</tt> you should be fine. If you're
uncertain if you need to require any other packages, you can use
the script <tt>${PORTSDIR}/Tools/scripts/gnomedepends.py</tt>
to examine your port's pkg-plist.</p>
<p>To see a list of what packages your port will actually require,
use the command <tt>make package-depends</tt>.</p>
