NetBSD sort was imported about five months ago and was apparently not made part of the build. GNU sort does not understand the common usage of +# (# = 1, 2, 3, etc.). >How-To-Repeat: Try building libncurses on its own. There were other areas which complained of sort's inability to use +# but I don't recall exactly where. >Fix: The following solves my problem on my machine. Your mileage may vary and probably will. I imagine there was a reason for using GNU sort and not NetBSD sort. I have no idea why though and since GNU sort breaks world, I'd have to be all for using NetBSD sort regardless of what fancy schmancy crap GNU sort offers. --- usr.bin/Makefile.orig Tue Sep 24 00:14:26 2002 +++ usr.bin/Makefile Tue Sep 24 00:11:45 2002 @@ -146,6 +146,7 @@ showmount \ sockstat \ soelim \ + sort \ split \ stat \ su \ --- mkdir usr.bin/sort cp Makefile usr.bin/sort/Makefile --- --- Makefile mentioned above --- .PATH: ${.CURDIR}/../../contrib/sort PROG= sort SRCS= append.c fields.c files.c fsort.c init.c msort.c sort.c tmp.c .include <bsd.prog.mk> --- end Makefile --- --- gnu/usr.bin/Makefile.orig Tue Sep 24 00:19:20 2002 +++ gnu/usr.bin/Makefile Tue Sep 24 00:19:29 2002 @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ # $FreeBSD: src/gnu/usr.bin/Makefile,v 1.72 2002/09/17 01:43:21 obrien Exp $ SUBDIR= bc binutils cc cpio dc dialog diff diff3 \ - gperf grep groff gzip man patch rcs sdiff send-pr sort tar texinfo + gperf grep groff gzip man patch rcs sdiff send-pr tar texinfo .if !defined(NO_CVS) SUBDIR+=cvs --- Or something like that...apologies if this is a duplicate pr. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
