Something I've noticed recently, involving the additions of the INSTALL_ macros to bsd.port.mk ... using these macros is making installation fail on ports that are built on earlier systems, that aren't using the latest version of bsd.port.mk. I don't want to suggest that we take the macros out, because I don't want to limit progress. What I want everyone to notice is that this failure might exist, and that I have experimented (with the help of people that have earlier systems) and I know that using an updated version of bsd.port.mk on, say, 2.1.5 or 2.1.0 or even earlier systems has no ill effect, and does fix the problem. So, if you find that your favorite port isn't building, consider ftp'ing an up to date copy of /usr/share/bsd.port.mk from your favorite mirror. Especially if the failure is on install. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
