Rohit, The AG3 port for FreeBSD was built & tested on FreeBSD - you're probably the first person to try using it with a Gentoo system, so you should expect a few problems. I assume you're running a Gentoo/FreeBSD system as described at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/bsd/fbsd/ ? Since your error at line 60 is at the inclusion of <bsd.port.pre.mk>, I think you should investigate the implications of the following comment from that page: "Although it ships with some files .mk (that contains BSD makefile templates used to build applications using BSD style), they are too barebone to actually build FreeBSD software, so you need to install the file set from FreeBSD. The ebuild is sys-freebsd/freebsd-mk-defs and it's crosscompile aware: when building on a non-FreeBSD system it installs in /usr/share/mk/freebsd and uses GNU syntaxes." Although we don't have the resources to investigate this further ourselves (even the "pure" FreeBSD port is something of a sideline), I'd be interested to see whether you can make this combination work. chris Christoph Willing +61 7 3365 8350 QCIF Access Grid Manager University of Queensland
