Seeking flavors examples and advice
Would someone please point me to a simple example of FLAVORS being used to
build something in ports to select different targets.
I recently took over games/frotz for which I am also upstream. This
package can be built with three different user interfaces with one of them
having two sub-variations. There are curses-nosound, curses (uses libao
for audio output), dumb (no screen handling at all), and SDL (uses libsdl
for graphics and audio). When building straight from source, you simply
do "gmake curses", "gmake nosound", "gmake dumb", or "gmake sdl" and you
get the interface specified by the parameter supplied to gmake. I can't
seem to find any webpage that goes into any more detail than
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/flavors-using.html
and this leaves me wondering just how to even start.
Here's what I have so far: targeting noaudio and dumb for starters. I'm
leaving out documentation and examples for now until I figure this out.
Both the noaudio and dumb targets will build, but when I do "make install"
or "make FLAVOR=dumb install", nothing actually gets put into
/usr/local/bin.

Re: xterm-353
This is quite surprising as I have not seen this. I do get occasional dead buttons due to all of the privacy add-ons I run, especially No-Script, but also less intrusive ones like Privacy Badger. I have seen a few issues with sites taking advantage of some JS functions outside of the standard that Chrome has added and Firefox has not yet picked up. This is the fault of Chrome playing the old IE game of making other browsers notwork correctly on some pages. I also have to fake the UI identifier for some sites as they reject access from FreeBSD (Chase Bank, I'm looking at you!) or do the wrong thing. As regards chromium, I have deleted it it and will not consider ever using it due to it's massive data collection and its blocking privacy tools like No-Script. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkober...@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 On Mon, Feb 3, 2020 at 11:38 AM Dave Horsfall wrote: > On Mon, 3 Feb 2020, Christoph Moench-Tegeder wrote: > > > You're right.

Any FreeBSD port around GCC > probably would want to use those - which is not the case right now. > Gerald The following is a message I posted last September 10 to freebsd-ports: Subject: gcc(6)-aux falling behind? I notice gcc advancing to 7.4, 8.3 and 9.2 while gcc-aux has not gone above v6. I believe this is the only Ada compiler for FreeBSD and NetBSD. Would it be possible to build a gcc that includes Ada using gcc6-aux on the source code for gcc 7.4 or 8.3? Fact that it hasn't been done suggests there might be a reason why. I had even thought about the possibility of using gcc6-aux or gcc5-aux to cross-compile a gcc for Linux. (end of message from last September 10) Even if ports-mgmt/synth becomes deprecated, I believe Ada support ought to be retained in ports/lang. I hope gcc6-aux will not be allowed to expire until something is in place to succeed it. One problem porting Ada compiler to other architectures is the need for bootstrap which must be in Ada (catch-22). I notice synth has not been updated in some time. I want to use or try synth on this computer if I continue with FreeBSD and ports just to see if it will build and work. On FreeBSD 11.1-STABLE, synth built but didn't work well, building only a small minority of ports it was tried on. On FreeBSD-current (then releng 12), trying to build synth led to system crash and reboot (unclean, I had to run fsck_ffs from NetBSD). Synth did better on the other computer, suggesting FreeBSD may be allergic to the MSI MPOWER motherboard, or not fully compatible.

Is this a concern for all architectures, or mostly non-x86? We can always restrict ONLY_FOR_ARCHS further for such ports if those focusing on those architectures are in favor.

Also there are some small local patches, some backports, in lang/gcc7 and later especially, that really matter. Any FreeBSD port around GCC probably would want to use those - which is not the case right now.
