(from my previous post) I am strongly advised to heed your advice on portupgrade. It seemed to work fairly well, once upon a time, but even then it was necessary to run "pkgdb -F". I looked in the FreeBSD Handbook online, found poudriere. I even ran "make all-depends-list | more" from my FreeBSD installation, found surprisingly few dependencies, wish there were a good way to configure options without dialog4ports. Still, dialog4ports was an improvement over the old dialog, which always messed my screen when I kept a log file. Speaking of system-mangling disaster, NetBSD pkgsrc with pkg_rolling-replace can do that, I am typing this on such a system. from Jan Beich: > DragonFly has lang/gcc9-aux since https://github.com/DragonFlyBSD/DeltaPorts/commit/bb774aced6d7 > Synth is still used to build binary packages on DragonFly e.g., > https://sting.dragonflybsd.org/dports/logs/lang___gcc9-aux.log I looked on gitweb.dragonflybsd.org, found gcc9-aux, but no gcc7-aux or gcc8-aux, and no gccn-aux on dragonlace.net where n > 6. DragonFly uses git for src and dports trees, in contrast to FreeBSD which uses svn, and NetBSD and OpenBSD which use cvs. Possibly I could try to create my own gcc(7 or 8)-aux on FreeBSD or NetBSD, or cross-compile for Linux. I would follow instructions on software.gnu.org or gcc.gnu.org . Tom
