problem compiling X11 ports under 9.1-RELEASE
I've recently installed 9.1-RELEASE on a laptop and am in the process of installing the ports that I want. On several now, I've encountered error messages that I don't know how to deal with and for which I don't see anything in the UPDATING file that seems to be relevant. For example, trying to build both graphics/xv and x11-clocks/wmclock results failure with the primary error message being: imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/local/lib/X11/config Imakefile.c:16: error: Imake.tmpl: No such file or directory followed by: make: don't know how to make all. Stop This happens both using portmaster (my usual method of installing ports) and installing manually (cd /usr/ports/x/y; make). Imake seems to be installed (pkg_version reports imake-1.0.4,1) so I don't know where to go from here. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I want to thank you for taking my problem seriously and taking the time to do your own test cases to verify my findings. Now that I know it's a genuine bug in mtree, I can make my plans accordingly. Any fix to the mtree utility will take some time to filter down to a regular RELEASE. Maybe 9.2 or the big jump to 10.0 by the end of 2013. I will leave it up to you the file a PR on this and follow through. Thanks again, people like you are what makes this questions list so valuable and FreeBSD such a great OS. You did outstanding work. Actually, in retrospect I think it was pretty trivial. I think the following patch is the right fix for the problem, although I am not completely certain. Index: /usr/src/usr.sbin/mtree/verify.c === --- /usr/src/usr.sbin/mtree/verify.c(revision 245177) +++ /usr/src/usr.sbin/mtree/verify.c(working copy) @@ -149,6 +149,7 @@ } (void)fts_set(t, p, FTS_SKIP); } + rval = MISMATCHEXIT; (void)fts_close(t); if (sflag) warnx(%s checksum: %lu, fullpath, (unsigned long)crc_total); This fixes the problem that was bothering you, but the interactions of different features are complicated, and many of them are documented in fairly loose language. Would you be interested in extending the test suite for this program? There are some tests in /usr/src/usr.sbin/mtree/test/, but they don't cover your issue. I'm particularly concerned with interactions between mtree(8) options like -u, -U, -q, -d, and specification keywords like optional, nochange, and ignore. I would feel more comfortable if someone else wrote up new test cases (because programmers generally don't -- can't -- test their own blind spots), although I'll certainly do it if no one else does. I haven't submitted a PR yet, but I'll do so as soon as I've translated my test case into a form that can be used in the PR.
