X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.0.34 i686) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions Subject: making a port causes runaway make spawning Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm using FreeBSD-2.2.7-STABLE. I cvsup'd a few days ago so I'm pretty up to date. I made /usr/ports/www/apache13-modssl with no problems. But when it came to doing a make install, during the bit where the script says "Registering apache-1.3.2...." make processes started to spawn like crazy. I was up to approx 900 processes before RAM + swap gave out. the make install gave me a couple of warnings from too, to do with a non-zero exit status of something involving perl (I confess to mucking around with /usr/share/mk/bsd.ports.mk to try to get it to use perl5005_02). The installation did seem to complete successfully though! Anyone have any idea what may be happening (or what I should check to find out)? Cheers, Adam.
