The following reply was made to PR ports/160033; it has been noted by GNATS. From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?=22Bj=F6rn_K=F6nig=22?= <bkoenig@alpha-tierchen.de> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Cc: miwi@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: ports/160033: [maintainer] update port devel/libffi Date: Sat, 26 Nov 2011 11:23:05 +0100 I gave feedback to Pawel but forgot to CC bug-followup@. From my point of view I can't do anything now, because I'm not able to reproduce the problem. The port builds correct. Please reopen the PR. Here is my mail from 13 September 2011: Hello, I spent some time in investigating the problem. I installed a clean FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE and a 7.4-RELEASE from scratch, both i386 and with minimal configuration (i.e. networking and localization). The port builds and installs without problems on both setups. I also suspected gsed and gawk which are used according to the configure log that you have sent me, but they also don't seem to be the problem. Now the funny thing: I set "blaviken.slowicza.org" as hostname, restarted the machine and used the work directory that you have sent to me. It builds and installs without problem. So it doesn't seem that the problem is related to the port. I have the suspicion that your compiler or toolchain is broken. libffi does a lot of compiler and assembler magic which tend to be totally broken if the compiler or assembler don't work as expected. Note that is still necessary to have a hostname set. If the machine has no hostname, then the port will definitely fail at build phase with the following message: MAKE i386-unknown-freebsd8.2 : 0 * all *** Error code 1 Best regards Björn
