The current Xaw3d in ports is an older and unmaintained version from a Slackware repository. I was able to get the official version from X.org which is newer.
This is all I was able to get so far. It downloads and builds from the Xorg repositories in /usr/ports/Mk/. They have the same contents as https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxaw3d/-/tree/libXaw3d-1.6.3/src. The Makefile gets the zipped file automatically by the PORTNAME, so it doesn't need MASTER_SITES=.
After some basic porting steps,
After this, I need to add a CONFLICTS= argument for the other xaw3d in ports. When enough works with this port, hopefully remove the obsolete or unofficial port. Without the post-install part, it causes more errors from
x11-toolkits/Xaw3d is the old port, and it uses http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware64-13.1/source/x/xaw3d/. The port description is out of date too, as maintenance of the official project has passed on to someone else, then it was maintained since 2012 by X.org. That could be fixed, but the port is more outdated than that.
