Well, actually I can see that this might still be useful, > but it's not the problem I was attempting to solve :) oops. i am sorry for sending otherwise useless patch as i didn't understand the situation on the first try. obviously. after kris's explanation, situation is clearer. currently i am working on to make the current version of make_index to run flawlessly w/ warnings & "use strict;" pragma; i am almost done. > The problem is that the script fails if PORTSDIR is a path which > contains a symlink, because in 'make describe' it doesn't get > expanded to the realpath, whereas it does in the make_index > script, so you get two paths which don't match and the script > fails. ... i have /usr/ports symlinked to /source/ports; after temporarily commenting out PORTSDIR in /etc/make.conf, i get .... # cd /usr/ports # make -d v describe | head -400 | fgrep 'Global:PORTSDIR' | sort -u Global:PORTSDIR = /usr/ports # make describe | head -3 ===> archivers ===> archivers/9e 9e-1.0|/source/ports/archivers/9e|/usr/local|Explode Plan9 archives|/source/ports/archivers/9e/pkg-descr|gehicks@cisco.com|archivers|||http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~wkj/Software/9e/ ...and you wan to have "/usr/ports" in place of "/source/ports". right? problem seems to be in ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, describe target around line 3160, variable ${.CURDIR}. if problems appears, to me, to be more related to make magic, i would not be of much help. in other words, if somebody else comes up first w/ the solution for this pr, more power to them. - parv To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
