Oops, you're right.

Well, this is a plugin for Netscape, and (unless I'm mistaken) *must* be in
aout format, or will ELF plugins work with Netscape???

a.out support is entirely optional thesedays for ports, so it's up to
you whether or not you care about fixing your port to build that way.

Building aout ports in -current

2001-03-28 Thread Conrad Sabatier

I've been notified that one of the ports I'm responsible for, xswallow, will no
longer build under -current.  Here's a snip from the build log:

===>  Building for xswallow-1.0.18
cd /tmp/a/ports/www/xswallow/work/xswallow/xswallow && cc -O -pipe -o
xswallow.so -aout  -shared -nostdlib -DXP_UNIX -I../include 
-I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/lib/compat/aout -lgcc  UnixShell.c stubs.c
as: could not exec aout/as in /usr/libexec: No such file or directory
UnixShell.c: In function `readEntries2':
UnixShell.c:498: output pipe has been closed
cpp0: output pipe has been closed
as: could not exec aout/as in /usr/libexec: No such file or directory
stubs.c:15: output pipe has been closed
*** Error code 1

Stop in /a/ports/www/xswallow.
*** Error code 1

Is it no longer possible to build aout binaries in -current, or am I simply
using the wrong approach here?  Admittedly, I did employ a rather "ad hoc"
method to get this package to compile, and up until now it's worked just fine.

Any info that might help will be greatly appreciated.
