I'm a day late in reading my mail, but on a machine I just finished upgrading to current, with nfs mounted /usr/ports, I had identical problems. When I used WRKDIRPREFIX to stick the build directories somewhere local, the problem disappeared. I haven't yet taken a close enough look at nfs options (mount options) to see if I can tweak it out. I sure enough have a pretty good test platform for it. My initial guess is that writes aren't completing; Makefiles built using Imake from ports are missing the last few K, which causes all the errors. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
