I've been tracking this list for about a month looking for a message
related to this, so if it came up earlier and was already answered, I
apologize.
I run several machines with 2.2.7-RELEASE and have been having more and
more trouble lately with certain ports. Specifically, today, the
problems are with /usr/ports/graphics/xpm and
/usr/ports/graphics/giflib. Every time I see the same problem - the
build errors out with an Error 1 due to a "Malformed conditional" on a
line usually like:
.if $(({$PORTOBJFORMAT} == "elf" ))
I've looked at the code and can get by it if I modify the Makefile so
that the condition is commented out and simply execute the steps related
to the FALSE condition here (since 2.2.7 isn't elf, of course).
However, I would think that someone wrote the code like this for a
reason - to support both 2.2.7 and 3.0 with the same ports tree. What
package do I need to install (or remake) in order to support the given
syntax in the Makefile?
Thanks,
