Have the problem myself. There are ports with security vulnerabilities and the recent change broke make for ports. I went to Google and found lots of other people with the same problem. The suggested fix is to use the make from 6.4. Hence my request. > I presume you are running 6.3 yourself. Why don't you upgrade the OS to > 6.4 or 7+, but you do upgrade the ports on an unsupported OS? Upgrading a port can be done without rebooting the machine. Upgrading the O/S is a MUCH more major undertaking and is almost never a "clean" process. Plus the time investment multiplied by many machines is huge (and dreaded). So, any chance of getting a 6.4 make compiled for 6.3? _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
