muttprint port hangs (muttprint/perl)
Hello, I am having some problems running the print/muttprint port. If I pass in a simple text file (some mail headers and a single line of text reading Test), it hangs indefinitely. If I send a SIGINT I get the following output: ^CCaught a SIGINT at ./muttprint line 1962 Line 1962 looks fairly innocuous: my @text = $fh; Where $fh is a file handle pointing to the simple text file mentioned above and passed into the function. My knowledge of perl is not great, but my understanding is that the $fh syntax is similar to a readline? I tried changing this to call the readline function explicitly, to no effect. On a hunch I thought my locale might be causing problems, as it is set to ja_JP.UTF-8, and I don't believe muttprint officially supports that locale. I tried setting it to en_US, but it still hangs. I am not sure whether this is a problem with muttprint itself, or a quirk of the FreeBSD perl port (--version reports 5.12.4), or something peculiar to my setup. For what it's worth, I have previously had muttprint working on Ubuntu installed from the tar.gz file on the muttprint website. Diffing the two versions reveals only superficial changes (penguin replaced with Beastie, etc). Apologies if I have the wrong list for this sort of thing. I took a look on freshports and there appears to be no active maintainer. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Global and User package database
Dear All ,
In the new PkgNG :
https://github.com/pkgng/pkgng/blob/master/pkg/add.c
the following statement is written :
if (geteuid() != 0) {
warnx(adding packages can only be done as root);
return (EX_NOPERM);
}
Instead of the above statement , is it possible to use a statement
as follows ( which it may be defined as a function to be called from all
the related
functions / programs ) :
if (geteuid() == 0) {
package_db_path = ... global path name ... , etc. ;
PKGDB_PLACE = PKGDB_DEFAULT ... etc.
} else
{
package_db_path = ... local path name , ie.
in $HOME about user path name ... , etc. ;
PKGDB_PLACE = PKGDB_USER ... etc.
}
if (pkgdb_open(db, PKGDB_PLACE) != EPKG_OK) {
return (EX_IOERR);
}
( Replace PKGDB_PLACE by a suitable name ... )
In that way , it will be possible to install packages into user home
directory ,
instead of global package directory .
For security concerns , user-installed packages will not be usable globally
, or
convenient only for the user .
Thank you very much .

Certainly Makefile.local is not included as early as make.conf, and so
may not be used for every purpose for which make.conf may be used.
But with regard to the topic of this thread, Makefile.local is
included before options-handling, and the test for inclusion of
bsd.gcc.mk. Why did you think otherwise? Using Makefile.local is
generally safer because of its narrower scope, and because it cannot
be included multiple times if make(1) is invoked recursively, unlike
make.conf.

Hi everyone,
Thank you for the correction to placement of the USE_GCC directive.
Clearly, I went for the hammer solution a little too quickly!
Cheers,
