Check /usr/ports/UPDATING for the 20120726:entry.

Yes, it appears that something specific to your environment is making ports unhappy, but I have no idea what. You don't say what version of FreeBSD or whether you have moved to pkgng or are still using the old pkg_* tools. Not that I am sure I would know what was going on with this information, but it would certainly help. The issue with binutils is especially odd. Could you state what "extra binaries" were a problem? It almost sounds like some sort of tool chain issue. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer E-mail: kob6...@gmail.com 9-STABLE, (r243371); I am not yet pkgng; I've lots in /usr/local/lib/compat and some in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg... the binaries binutils complains about are as, ar, and ranlib.; standard $PATH; I replaced pkg-config with pkgconf ages ago. (Almost wishing for a "wrapper port" that one wraps around a port build to point explicitly at which dependency causes an error, or if not, which parameter to ./configure or which patch file in /files/ or which line in the Makefile... almost like a dtrace/strace GUI-something... but specifically for port building.) _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
