i portupgraded freetype2, and then firefox built successfully.

break other apps that use them
It's *always* a good idea to update your ports with your brain turned
on :-)
portupgrade -a is often safer, because it won't update a port but
leave other dependencies of that port than the one you specified
untouched.

In the case of firefox, the answer seems to be pretty damn quickly.  The same is true of most popular ports.  I can only think of one port which I have which doesn't seem to have kept up with the original (fcron).  With a port you *do* compile it yourself (it's packages which are pre-compiled and I rarely touch those).  What you get are checksums, patches, dependencies calculated automatically.  

If you are desperate for a version of something which is newer than the port 
(or, older), you can still recompile it yourself, though if it's as complicated 
as firefox you are likely to run in to trouble.  You also get a good record of 
what exactly is installed on your system (pkg_info) and semi-automatic info 
about what needs upgrading (cvsup and portupgrade, which I highky recommend; or 
the newer portmanager, but that dumps core for me).
In the time you've been having all this trouble, I compiled and installed one 
version of firefox (1.03).  Then came various potential security holes, and 
version 1.04 came out, which I then upgraded to.  The only hassle was waiting 
for it to compile!  With portupgrade it even remebered which configuration 
options I had picked the first time, and re-used them the second time.

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/ .

You can also look at the CVS web interface

For a very popular port such as firefox it doesn't take long to catch up with 
the most recent release.

You could install portmanager, use portmanager -u and do excludes on ports 
that you suspect might break something else if upgraded.

That, and a portmanager -s will give you a nice view of the state of your 
ports tree.  Perhaps you'll see something you hadn't caught before?

Make sure your freetype port is up-to-date and that you don't have
stale freetype files installed from a previous non-ports install or
from a previous version of the port that you did not upgrade
correctly.  Use pkg_which from the portupgrade package to do this (see
the manpage).

yes sorry i jumped in without reading the man page for it's useage.
however some digging and a few other helpful emails and TA DA!!! it works!!!
i portupgraded freetype2, and then firefox built successfully.
i was under the impression that portupgrade looked after dependencies 
like this on it's own however? is it possible in my fiddling around i 
screwed up something which prevented portupgrade upgrading freetype2?
fyi i upgraded gaim and some other stuff successfully, so everything 
seems OK

thanks for everyones help and patience, it's what makes freebsd superior.

It's *always* a good idea to update your ports with your brain turned
on :-)

portupgrade -a is often safer, because it won't update a port but
leave other dependencies of that port than the one you specified
untouched.

Re: can't build firefox 1.0.4 on 4.10

2005-05-16 Thread Tony Shadwick
To say what he said a bit more nicely, do a quick read on cvsup in the 
freebsd handbook.  When you've read and understand, make a supfile that 
updates your ports tree to your liking with tag=.

Then I'd suggest doing the following:
pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui
pkg_add -r fastest-cvsup
pkg_add -r portinstall
pkg_add -r portupgrade
pkg_add -r portdowngrade
pkg_add -r portsmanager
fastest_cvsup
cvsup -g -L2 -h (server returned above) your-supfile
portmanager -s
That will give you the state of your ports tree currently.
To deal with firefox specifically:
portinstall www/firefox
to upgrade later
portupgrade www/firefox

More obvious questions.  You are doing the firefox install as root and

That looks right.  (Btw /usr/local/bin/libIDL-config was installed by 
package ORBit-0.5.17_2 and that doesn't appear to be a dependency of 
firefox's.  I think the message from firefox install is just confusing 
the issue and it is libIDL-config-2 that's required).

More obvious questions.  You are doing the firefox install as root and 
root does have /usr/local/bin/ in it's path and libIDL-config-2 is 
executable?  As root check with: which libIDL-config-2.

Just to confirm it working, I tried just configuring firefox and got:
checking for libIDL-2.0 = 0.8.0... yes
checking LIBIDL_CFLAGS... -I/usr/local/include/libIDL-2.0 
-I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include 
checking LIBIDL_LIBS... -L/usr/local/lib -lIDL-2

I'm not sure what else to suggest.  make clean in firefox and try making 
again.

pkg_info shows
libIDL-0.8.3_2  A library for creating trees of CORBA Interface 
Definition

so obviously it's not looking into the right place, only there doesn't 
seem to be a libIDL-config, there is how ever a libIDL-config-2 ? i 
tried setting libidl_config to that but it's no go.
I just this minute finished compiling Firefox and didn't get this 
problem :-)

I do have a libIDL-config and libIDL-config-2 (not libidl-config as you 
typed) but I believe it is obsolete and does NOT appear to be what 
Firefox used. (The libIDL defs I could find refer to libIDL-2).

What do you get for
   locate libIDL-config-2
assuming you keep a locate database?
I get /usr/local/bin/libIDL-config-2 which is a standard location.  If 
yours is somewhere else then you'll either have to a) provide a symlink 
or b) reinstall libIDL to a standard location c) convince Firefox to 
look wherever you installed it.  Not sure how since it's not a config 
option to the port Makefile (just to the Firefox configure process, 
which it's messy to hack).

If it's not somewhere else, then something else hinky is going on and 
reinstalling libIDL may be the best bet.  (You're a bit out of date 
anyway as mine is up to libIDL-0.8.5_1).

something ) and the ./configure finished, but it get Makefile, line
