It looks like it's simply broken because it does not compile probably
due to the switch to a C++11.

I've opened an issue on Bugzilla for this.[1]

It seems to require some minor fixes but I don't have time for this
unfortunatelly at the moment. You may look at those errors on your own.
Just download the ports[2] and then run

# cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/icewm
# make

If you would like to work on this issue and write some patches then I'm
ready to assist you.

Thanks for your answer. I compiled in the meantime myself and saw the  
error.

I added a patch to the PR.

In the past we had portsmon which displayed if a port build or not.

http://portsmon.freebsd.org/portoverview.py?category=cad=freecad

But is in maintenance for a while now. The maintainer mailed me (about a  
month ago) it will be back in Q2 probably.


I don't know of a similar site with the data of the current pkg build  
system.

I submitted a patch, which simply adds USE_CXXSTD=gnu++98 to the port Makefile.

could be solverd with adding to the Makefile

The maintainer said, this line should not needed and he could not

Has someone other the same issue?

port x11-wm/icewm does not have a pkg?

[Ronald Klop]

Hi,

I can't install a pkg of x11-wm/icewm. But I can't see in the port why. It  
seems to have a proper license GPLv2 and is distributable.


Any insights on this?

I forgot that cad/brlcad is broken in ports.

I have a semi working port where it installs in a {LOCALBASE}/brlcad dir
and not in the typical install location.

If you'd like to try that let me know, it's a great piece of software but
I've been too busy this year to actually do much work on computers.

I believe Ada did not originate on i386 PCs, existed long before amd64.  There 
have been Ada compiler suites for i386 DOS and MS-Windows, and there is DJGPP 
for DOS.

But I see why you prefer something that can be ported to all FreeBSD-supported 
platforms.

One benefit of FreeBSD and NetBSD, and some Linux versions, is package systems 
that build and install packages and dependencies from source.  So I am 
accustomed to haing dependencies pulled in rather than having to name every 
package.  Some packages, even when named, were built but not installed by synth.

There ought to be an option to install build dependencies for circumstances 
where that would be useful.
