bsd.gnome.mk is broken in 6.3-RELEASE ? Cannot update x11 ports ?
Clean install of 6.3-RELEASE.
cvsup _only_ ports/x11, ports/x11-wm, ports/x11-servers
Now enter ports/x11/xorg and attempt a 'make install'
Eventually it bombs out with:
===Verifying install for /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/pixman-1.pc in
/usr/ports/x11/pixman
Unknown modifier '9'
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.gnome.mk, line 643: Malformed conditional
(${_USE_GNOME_ALL:Mltverhack:9}==)
Unknown modifier '9'
Error expanding embedded variable.
*** Error code 2
Stop in /usr/ports/x11/xorg-libraries.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/x11/xorg.
I don't really care why. I'm sure it's fascinating, whatever it is. Can I
just get a quick textual fix - some file to edit somewhere that fixes this ?
What _is_ fascinating is that I am the only person _ever_ to attempt cvsup'ing
the x11 portions of the ports tree and then install xorg. You'd think someone
would have done this before now.
Thanks.

The sample /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile states:
# Be sure to ALWAYS cvsup the ports-base collection if you use any of the
# other individual collections below. ports-base is a mandatory collection
# for the ports collection, and your ports may not build correctly if it
# is not kept up to date.
You are probably missing an updated ports-base

If you only cvsuped those three ports, you have an outdated version of
the bsd.gnome.mk file (I checked the recent version and there is no such
line).
In fact, to avoid any more issues, I would suggest you cvsup the entire
tree. If you feel cvsup / csup is slow, try portsnap:

You'd think someone would have done this before now. Not that fascinating. Only takes a minute to realize that x11 apps depend on apps outside the x11 scope and one should *always* update Mk/. The only categories that I've had removed from a csup port distribution are the internationalization categories. However, after some review of what kind of extra traffic these generate, I decided that it wasn't worth the editing time of the csup file. Proceeding with partial ports trees or worse, partially csup'd port trees, gives nasty errors that take longer to debug then they save you download time. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
