I have a fresh install of FreeBSD 7.0 but it it seems several system related
modules are broken. One I would like to have a solution on urgently is the
"Makefile". I am not able to compile or install any program with it. The errors
are too many no matter which application I try to install from ports collection.
I have not built a custom kernel yet. The behavior of Makefile worries me more
than anything at the moment.
pkg_ add is minimally working itself. I am also noticing that quite many
apllications in the port collection are bad. Any idea for me to get started?
You'll have to start by showing us exactly what you are doing, and what
is going wrong.
Thanks ... say you have a package:
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/usermin
In this folder you have Makefile, distinfo, files, pkg-descr, pkg-message,
and pkg-plist
The issue the command while in this folder:
perl Makefile
voila,, you get:
Semicolon seems to be missing at Makefile line 9
Bareword found where operator expected at Makefile line 11 .near "/www"
[Missing operator before www?]
syntax erro at Makefile line 10
Execution of Makefile aborted due to Compilation errors.
And many more of these errors for each and every file/application I try to
install.
Why are you running that command? It's not how you build ports. Take a
look at the handbook for directions.
Kris
