Hello,

I am having an issue with the port wmappl. I did a package install of the port and when I tried to run the port I got an unusual error message.
The machine running in a vmware esxi 6.7 environment.
[2356][bhorne@Necronomicon:/usr/home/bhorne]$ uname -a
FreeBSD Necronomicon 13.1-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p3 GENERIC amd64

The desktop is Windowmaker

The port:
https://www.freshports.org/x11/wmappl/

The error:
[0005][bhorne@Necronomicon:/usr/home/bhorne]$ wmappl &
[1] 9698
rcparser.c: Expected Key=Value, invalid file format. vera serif font
Some of the interesting things are I cannot locate a rcparser.c file


root@Necronomicon:~ # find / -name rcparser.c
root@Necronomicon:~ #

So my question is where do I go from here?

It's a message of "syntax error" upon program startup. It's expecting to have key=value (e.g. name=John) but found something it doesn't understand. I see you have "vera serif font" after that message so that's a good start -- look for those words in aforementioned config file.

The words are there after tooltip I believe that is line 10. So is there something there that needs to be changed?
 
It seems your comment is getting into new line

Code: 
tooltip_font=-*-bitstream vera serif-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*  # use
      vera serif font
but should be
Code: 
tooltip_font=-*-bitstream vera serif-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*  # use vera serif font
 
I fixed the line apparently for some reason part of the comment had moved to the next line.
So I have fixed that

tooltip_font=-*-bitstream vera serif-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* # use vera serif font
