A build dependency is not meant to modify anything on the user's system, Except building the new port of course. :) but the installation process may need to, say, rebuild indexes or otherwise update some kind of configuration. Think add-on packages - some of them might need some kind of registration in the main package's configuration. At least that's the way I see it, and ICBW, but I think that there are various legitimate cases when a run-time dependency ought to be installed before the package installation itself. I guess what I'm getting at is that (as far as I can see) that's not what happens now. The parent port is installed first, then run depends are checked. But like I said, I'll take a look at your original example, and those below. Thanks, Doug For more examples, take a look at the plist of most X11 fonts (@exec fc-cache), most JDK implementations (@exec registervm), most docbook-* ports (@exec xmlcatmgr), some GNOME ports like gnomevfs (@exec gconftool-2), and many others. -- This .signature sanitized for your protection ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

'make -DNO_DEPENDS install' causing error
I'm really stumped on this one, and I'm wondering if someone can come up with something clever here. In the last revision of portmaster I changed the order of how things are installed (parent port first, then any run-depends) and added -DNO_DEPENDS to the make install line so that portmaster could handle installation of the run-depends. This works fine on my 6-stable and 8-current boxes, but I've had two users this morning report that this causes the following error: make: don't know how to make install. Stop I can't reproduce this at all (obviously, or I wouldn't have committed the update) and so far no attempts by the users to debug it has produced even a hint of what's happening. There is nothing unusual in their make.conf or ports.conf. One user is using 6.2-p8, I'm waiting for the other user to respond on what version they are using. Help?

Re: 'make -DNO_DEPENDS install' causing error
*sigh* Never mind. I found the problem. I missed a copy and paste of one crucial line and didn't see it locally because of my .portmasterrc file.
