I am running #FreeBSD RELEASE 15.0 with #pkg for package management, no #ports at all. It appeared to me that the Joe's Window Manager port, x11-wm/jwm, was built without #SVG image support by default. However svg files are actually widely used by multiple icon themes, meaning that many of them will not work under #JWM . Should I simply compile it manually out of ports tree? I mean getting the ports tree is not difficult but setting up #poudriere and all just for one package seems tedious. Are there any other simpler waysnto achieve this?

@kaixin First, install Jwm using the package manager. Then install the port tree and navigate to the /usr/ports/x11-wm/jwm directory. Run the make-config command and enable the SVG option. Then run the make install command for building and installation. This way, you can compile only Jwm and enable the SVG option without having to use poudriere and compile Jwm's dependencies.
Although not related to JWM, I recommend watching this video.

@kaixin You might consider starting with a bug report on https://bugs.freebsd.org — it might have been an accidental oversight that the maintainer (or someone) will correct, and thus (eventually) result in an updated binary package. Or SVG support might have been left out on purpose, and the report will be rejected. Either way, the lack will be documented for the next person who has the problem, and you'll (hopefully) be able to make a decision on how you want to proceed, fortified with more data.
