Please notice the FreeBSD Ports system is not branched together with the OS releases, it's just meant to be compatible with the latest releases. So, even if you install from a 7.0-RELEACE CD and you've got PCRE 7.4, when you install monotone from the ports you ideally upgrade also all the dependencies (right now PCRE in the Ports is 7.8). (a "/usr/ports/devel/monotone ; make install" won't upgrade dependencies first, but tools like portmaster or portupgrade are just made for that) > FreeBSD's make is unhappy with the Makefile: > > $ make > Error expanding embedded variable > > (Yes that is really all it tells me, no line number or anything).
