Use DYNAMIC_ARCH, otherwise the port is configured to not build in poudriere. As far as I understand, those BLAS related codes all try either to build for multiple CPUs or try to build for a specific CPU. So what should the poor port maintainer do ? Either she allows to build anyway, which produces a optimized port for the CPU of the builder host, or she says: We can't, build it manually. It's a mess. From my point of view, it should always build with DYNAMIC_ARCH, which is not always the fastest binary, but at least it builds 8-} > * After searching a bit, I have not found how to *manually* build a package > in poudriere.

It would be useful, yes. Probably submit a PR for poudriere to add some flag like this. -- p...@opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 4 years to go ! _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
