Hi All, I have been having several problems build ports. I just installed 4.7, and used cvsupit to update to the latest ports tree (nightly) and track the -STABLE branch (/usr/src).
When I build ports I often get really lame errors like 'Unknown character /' in some source file. What it turns out to be is a comment, like: // This is a comment. Changing it to: /* This is a comment */ Fixes the problem. I get other errors too, but I am starting to question whether something else is wrong here. Is my make.conf too strict or something? I copied it from the examples, (/usr/share/examples/etc/defaults/make.conf) and did *very* little in customization... My CFLAGS looks like this: CFLAGS= -O -pipe -Wall -ansi What could be the problem here? Or is the compiler I'm using just not like '//' used as comments? I also can't successfully 'make buildworld'... And about 50% of the time I try to install a port that just won't build, so I have to use 'pkg_add'. Any tips greatly appreciated. -- Nick Jennings [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
