from another team member, also a long time freebsd user of decadesfirefox build bombs because something has hardwired gcc47, which is not installed, so firefox's ./configure bombs testing hello world. Attempting to figure out what has hardwired gcc47 quickly leads down an entire separate /usr/ports/Mk/ file full of the usual garbage, none of which actually says gcc47. Presumably it is somehow inheriting from /usr/ports/lang/gcc's version (as opposed to /usr/port/lang/gcc4[69] -- this machine happens to have gcc46 installed). This is as far as I got before giving up in disgust. Maybe they'll sort it out by the time I care. Or maybe I'll wipe and Ubuntu. essentially, from a user perspective, the ports have become kiddieville, with no testing or seeming adult supervision. if you're just trying to get your work done, freebsd ports have become toxic. randy
randy, What about using pkg(1) and what version of FreeBSD are you on? Finally, are you using portupgrade? _______________________________________________ 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"
