I got pan-0.9.7 to build and would like to share the steps necessary. First, an idea: Ports should build on a fresh install of a release in combination with a totally clean install/upgrade of the ports collection. I am finding a large number of ports just don't build. This should be a test scenario. Again, the idea here is to define a standard test environment. I believe that this will reduce the number of ports that don't build. GUI-based packages are much more likely to fail than other ports. Here is what I did: 1) Fresh install of 4.3-RELEASE 2) cd /usr/ports/news/pan; make ...fails due to gnomecontrolcenter 3) pkg_delete all packages related to any packages that failed 4) remove all work directories related to ports that failed 5) cvsup the ports collection 6) rebuild pan ...fails due to gnomecontrolcenter The beginning of success: 7) download gnomecontrolcenter as a package 8) pkg_add gnomecontrolcenter ...fails, but lists missing packages 9) Go to the ports of each missing package and 'make' it 10) about half of these failed; some succeeded 11) Re-build pan port -- IT WORKS!! It's not pretty but it did work. Please close this PR.
