How recently have you cvsupped your ports tree? Try that and then make clean in the port dir, and then try building the port again. That often works because new patches get committed. Just trying the make clean before retrying the build may work too. On Saturday January 27, 2001 12:11, David S.

If it requires other things, it will also build those and then finish building the one you asked for. A quick and dirty way of finding out what port dependencies will be built is to run a make clean in the port dir. For ex: cd /usr/ports/audio/xmms; make clean will list all the things the xmms port requires. There is another way of doing that, but I can never remember it and can't find it in my mail right now. > while making all in esd ( I think ), I get the following error while compiling mixer.c: I am a little confused about the make targets for the ports as the ports manpage says one thing and Greg's book says another, but make install always works for me, and I usually do make install clean to get rid of the extra stuff from the build process.
