Hi, I recently had a problem where the VNC server in VirtualBox would not bind to any IPV6 port except for the default. I did some research and found this < http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2014-January/011194.html>; and this < http://newsarc.net/showthread.php/muc.lists.freebsd.emulation/Ports174976%3A%20Fix%20For%20IPv6%20Port%20Setting/4E0B86FF-9C4D-4CDA-87FC-D6F75926695F@lassitu.de>; After finding the last part I verified that the newer code is unpacked in the ports directory. After trying several things I could not get the VBOX_USE_IPV6 bit to be set and the program always compiled with the default (broken) code. Anyway after playing around some more it looks to me like kmk ignores /etc/make.conf and any CFLAGS passed in via the port 'make CFLAGS=' command. I could be doing something obviously wrong, but I think I am testing this right. Perhaps kmk is supposed to work this way? In any case I thought you might want to know. I checked the IRC channel, but no maintainers were around so I am sending this to vbox@freebsd.org (maintainer) instead. Hope this helps someone. In the meantime for myself I have a patch which takes away the code for the default behavior from VBoxVNC.cpp directly. If am doing something obviously wrong please let me know so I can do upgrades correctly and drop my ugly patch. Regards
