the first time I ran make index the answer was INDEX is up to date, then after some unfortunate trials to install GLIB 2 the answer is a long list of "no entry for: /usr/ports/..." preceded by many non-existent or incomplete dependencies.. I think I'll try to recvsup, as advised. But definitely my problem seems to be concentrated around automake-1.4, aclocal-1.4 and glib-2. Frankly I don't know what to do: maybe cvsup won't change it, since it does not make the files automatically. I should perhaps try to install precompiled binaries of these ones (if they exist) and only try cvsup after. Finally, can I ask you if you know how to implement iconv in C library (what's the real name and location), or libiconv (and where to find and put the ftp files) on which glib-2 complains. thank you again On Friday, November 8, 2002, at 01:00 AM, Kent Stewart wrote: > > > Kent Stewart wrote: >> Emmanuel Rens wrote: >>> thank you, I would appreciate very much if you can give me some more >>> advice on updating the INDEX because I don't find mention of this >>> procedure in the Handbook nor in CVSup FAQ >> I was trying to see where a good reference was and was out of time >> before I even got started.
