Re: ports unbuildable: KDE3 & KDE-lite - RESOLVED
Hi, I'm a newbie to FreeBSD. I'm trying to build KDE3 from the ports collection without success. MY PC is running on 5_stable (5.3). The sticking point is:
./src/gdevl256.c: In function 'lvga256_draw_line'
Stop in /usr/ports/print/ghostscript-gnu.
The KDE3 & KDE-lite ports won't install, they crash out. I've CVsupped the ports and run a portupgrade -aRr as well as having the latest stable source code and a custom kernel. Do you have any ideas or should I put the question to the freebsd-questions mailing list?
From: Michael Nottebrock Subject: Re: ports unbuildable: KDE3 & KDE-lite
The error you're seeing occurs in the ghostscript-gnu port, which we don't maintain. However, I suggest you try to install ghostscript-gnu via package (as root: pkg_add -r ghostscript-gnu), this will allow you to continue building KDE and save you from figuring out the build errors.
