missing pkg-descr
I have a 6.2-PRERELEASE. As almost all the ports of my laptop where out of date and I just had updated another computer so I decided to 0/ portsnap fetch update (on the laptop) 1/ pkg_delete -a (on the laptop) 2/ generate packages on the other box for the biggest ports and send them to the laptop. Then set on the laptop : setenv PKG_PATH /tmp/packages setenv PKGDIR /tmp/packages setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest/ And now I am (re)installing the packages of what I need. For the moment, I asked for portupgrade-devel, portaudit, vim and xorg. I am using portinstall -P ... (and now again with -k many times) to go through the missed dependencies. However, I get many errors of the following type: when a ports needs to be compiled, it complains that pkg-descr is missing, while it is not because the file is there. It seems to be systematic from now on to all the new ports I try to make install (see below). What's wrong ? Thanks in advance.

The make -V DESCR gives /home/alhabsi/packages/pkg-descr. This directory is where I keep my downloaded packages. Are you running make from the port directory, or somewhere else? We need more information on *exactly* what you are doing (cwd, what commands are being typed, etc) to have any real idea what might be happening. I'm guessing that it should say /usr/ports/lang/php5/pkg-descr instead, since there is such a file there. You might try something like: $ cd /usr/ports/lang/php5 $ make DESCR=/usr/ports/lang/php5/pkg-descr install clean Kevin Kinsey -- They call them squares because it's the most complicated shape they can deal with. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

What directory are you running make from? Is it /usr/ports/java/jdk15? /usr/ports is the default location for ports, but you may get this error if you attempt to make a valid port from an invalid directory, or with invalid entries in /usr/ports/Mk or even in /etc/make.conf How are you updating your ports tree? lane ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

This suggests that your ports tree is incomplete for some reason; you should review how you are updating the ports tree and see whether there is some problem there-- or check the Handbook for other methods of updating /usr/ports... -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Missing pkg-descr - Correction
Wyane, Is there a specific reason you need ports/jdk15? If not, try java/diablo-jdk15. The latter is the result of the FreeBSD Foundation's deal with Sun. Chad On 12/13/06, Wayne M.
