After reading the thread referenced above, and looking at the output of my build, I noticed that the build was failing in different areas. So I decided to run make on the port multiple times, and eventually the port installed successfully. However, the port in my tree (dated # $FreeBSD: ports/misc/freebsd-doc-en/Makefile,v 1.36 2011/05/22 14:28:49 blackend Exp $) in a fresh tree made only through 2010, according to the copyright at the top of the handbook. Individual files in that doc tree were variously dated; the newest being 8/2010. So I ran make, multiple times, on the source; and that gave me a doc tree dated 2011. Most of the files there were dated 5/29/11. A few exceptions were found in image files dated 3/2010, which all loaded in SeaMonkey, except for some files in: advanced-networking, security, vinum, geom. I may have missed others in other books. To summarize: 1) It appears that make is, in this case, a hammer that must be applied more than once to either the source or the port. 2) Not all images are seen as valid, and according to make may have bad magic numbers. If building from source is used on a fresh tree, it may be possible to have make ignore all the errors by using the -k flag. 3) I have no idea how things will go with an upgrade to the doc source; I normally use portupgrade, so I suppose I will find out later. I've submitted a bug report. Best regards, Joe
