X.Org port broken?
I just installed FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE on a computer and after failing to get XFree86 4.3.1,1 going on my DVI LCD monitor and nVidia FX5200 card, I wanted to try my luck with X.Org's server, but the port simply refuses to install. I tried to install it a couple of weeks ago and it gave me tons of errors even then, this time, it gave me the following error: paste ndation' -DXVENDORNAMESHORT='X.Org' -c xhost.c xhost.c: In function `change_host': xhost.c:423: error: syntax error before siaddr xhost.c:434: error: `siaddr' undeclared (first use in this function) xhost.c:434: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once xhost.c:434: error: for each function it appears in.) xhost.c: In function `get_hostname': xhost.c:883: error: `XServerInterpretedAddress' undeclared (first use in this fu nction) xhost.c:883: error: `sip' undeclared (first use in this function) xhost.c:884: warning: ISO C89 forbids mixed declarations and code xhost.c:888: error: syntax error before ')' token *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/xorg-clients/work/xc/programs/xhost. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/xorg-clients/work/xc/programs. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/xorg-clients. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/xorg. /paste Is there a solution to this or is it simply broken and awaits the attention of the port maintainer?

Assume at least a minimal amount of competence on the part of port maintainers. Ports, especially of big and important software systems like the X.Org server and clients, are not allowed to sit around in an obviously broken and uncompilable state. There would be a great deal of traffic all over the freebsd-x11 and freebsd-ports mailing lists if such breakage did occur. Even if there was breakage occuring that could not be fixed immediately, a 'BROKEN=' flag would be set in the port Makefile, with a message explaining the problem. No, the immediate conclusion has to be that you are doing something wrong. You don't give us any information that will allow us to say precisely what, but I will hazard a guess that since you tried to install XFree8604.x you have the imake-4 port installed. That won't work with the X.Org stuff, but it will fool the ports system into thinking that everything is OK. You need to de-install imake-4 and install imake-6 instead: # portupgrade -o devel/imake-6 -f imake-\* Then try the X.Org installation again.

The problem was caused by stale files on my system. Explicitly installing /usr/ports/x11/xorg-libraries before installing /usr/ports/x11/xorg did the trick. This error was just the first in a series of problems caused by stale files, but I fought my way through the installation process and now have xorg running with the latest nvidia drivers so now my video card works and I'm happy. :) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
