The apparent culprit is indicated in the line above -- a syntax error in the Makefile for building 'smime'. If you underestand makefile syntax, check out that file, circa 'line 84' THE most common makefile error is leading _spaces_ on an action line, instead of a 'tab' ([HT], '\t', 0x08) character.

Reading the full trace _DID_ show a parallel build. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
