That's the culprit. If I correct that by hand by removing that line and continuing the build, the second autogenerated makefile error will stop things: ========== EXCERPT ========== cd x2p; LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/work/perl-5.8.8 make s2p "makefile", line 159: Need an operator make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/work/perl-5.8.8. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8. ========== END OF EXCERPT ========= This error comes from the exact same error in the following autogenerated makefile /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/work/perl-5.8.8/x2p/makefile: ========== EXCERPT ========== # AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED MAKE DEPENDENCIES--PUT NOTHING BELOW THIS LINE # If this runs make out of memory, delete /usr/include lines. 0 hash$(OBJ_EXT): ../config.h hash$(OBJ_EXT): ../handy.h ========== END OF EXCERPT ========= Once again, when this error is encountered, hand-edit the file and remove the '0' line and then the build completes. >How-To-Repeat: Launch a FreeBSD jail with a /usr/ports tree and attempt to build the perl 5.8 port within it. >Fix: I have no idea how to fix the problem, but it is obvious that during 'make config' of the port the two 'makefile' files are having a spurious '0' output, corrupting them. If I was more familiar with the makefile generation process I'd attempt to figure this out myself, but sadly I'm clueless in this area. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
