Hi, Hakan,

I looked at the ports with an eye to finding the name of
a package that I could install.  I found something like
libstdc++-stldoc, but not what I was looking for.

Now I've abandoned Trident and installed FreeBSD 12.0
and xorg and lumina.  I'm able to build things with gcc
(haven't tried clang yet), but my desktop is barely working.
I put  'exec start-lumina-desktop' in my .xinitrc file and then
enter startx.  That doesn't work.  So I started emacs and
did alt-x shell.  From there I entered  startx.   That brought
up 3 xterms and a clock, but it looks bad.  I liked Trident's
desktop a lot more than this, but I couldn't build anything
with it.

I'm not sure what to do next.  Thanks for your reply.
