Hi. I've been trying to install the latest WindowMaker port and I'm having a REALLY funky problem. I've already talked to Brian Handy (the port maintainer) and we cannot figure out what's going on so I thought I'd see if anyone else was having the same problem. The port builds cleanly on Brian's machine. Before I start explaining the symptoms, I made world on Jan 30th and I'm running -stable. I also just cvsup'ed the ports just before I built this. On to the weirdness... The make build process proceeds cleanly. When it hits the install portion though all hell breaks loose: peloton: {9} make install >> Checksum OK for WindowMaker-0.13.1.tar.gz. ===> Installing for windowmaker-0.13.1 ===> Warning: your umask is "0002". If this is not desired, set it to an appropriate value and install this port again by ``make reinstall''. ===> windowmaker-0.13.1 depends on shared library: Xpm\.4\. - found ===> windowmaker-0.13.1 depends on shared library: jpeg\.7\. - found ===> windowmaker-0.13.1 depends on shared library: png\.0\. - found ===> windowmaker-0.13.1 depends on shared library: tiff34\.1 - found Making install in wrlib gmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/x11/windowmaker/work/WindowMaker-0.13.1/wrlib' /bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /usr/X11R6/lib At this point a small window (not an xterm) pops up on my screen!!! Its titlebar says "Untitled" (default from afterstep) and at this point the install pauses. a ps -U root at this point yields (applicable processes only): peloton: {11} ps -U root 4167 p2 I+ 0:00.00 /bin/sh -ec cd /usr/ports/x11/windowmaker && make re 4168 p2 I+ 0:00.09 make real-install 4250 p2 I+ 0:00.00 /bin/sh -ec cd /usr/ports/x11/windowmaker && make do 4251 p2 I+ 0:00.08 make do-install 4260 p2 I+ 0:00.00 /bin/sh -ec (cd /usr/ports/x11/windowmaker/work/Windo 4261 p2 I+ 0:00.04 gmake -f Makefile install 4262 p2 I+ 0:00.01 /bin/sh -c set fnord ; amf=$2; for subdir in wrlib W 4266 p2 I+ 0:00.04 gmake install 4268 p2 I+ 0:00.01 /bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /usr/X11R6/lib 4272 p2 I+ 0:00.03 test ! -d /usr If I then hit return in the xterm where the make is going the first window disappears and ANOTHER one pops up! ps -U root then gives: 4262 p2 I+ 0:00.01 /bin/sh -c set fnord ; amf=$2; for subdir in wrlib W 4266 p2 I+ 0:00.04 gmake install 4268 p2 S+ 0:00.01 /bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /usr/X11R6/lib 4278 p2 S+ 0:00.03 test ! -d /usr/X11R6 This whole process of me hitting return continues... on the 4th time I hit return (after the little window pops up) I get this error in the xterm where the make is proceeding: list='libwraster.a'; for p in $list; do \ if test -f $p; then \ echo " install -c -o bin -g bin -m 444 $p /usr/X11R6/lib/$p"; \ install -c -o bin -g bin -m 444 $p /usr/X11R6/lib/$p; \ else :; fi; \ done after 6 times I get : /bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /usr/X11R6/include Finally after the 8th time the build proceeds, but it does NOT install the libwraster.a file in /usr/X11R6/lib like it's supposed to (found by a make deinstall). It certainly seems like there's some kind of problem in the mkinstalldirs file from WindowMaker but boy I don't know what. I've NEVER had a build of a port pop up a small window that did NOTHING! If anyone has any ideas about this I'd love to hear them. ********************************************************* Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu http://peloton.physics.montana.edu/brett/ When you wake up in the morning With the blues in your fingertips Get out that ol' guitar and play It's the only way to scratch that itch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
