This means that your kernel and the drm-devel-kmod package are out of
sync. drm-devel-kmod installs the kernel graphics drivers, such as
amdgpu.ko, and it has to be in sync with your kernel. Depending a bit
on which svn revision of current you have, you should be able to build
drm-devel-kmod (and preferably gpu-firmware-kmod) from ports.
@Niclas,
I followed your instructions; when I try to build gpu-firmware-kmod,
here's what I get:
ports/graphics/gpu-firmware-kmod:16:33:50 $ pwd
/usr/ports/graphics/gpu-firmware-kmod
ports/graphics/gpu-firmware-kmod:16:33:51 $ make
make: "/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk <http://bsd.port.mk>" line 2096:
warning: String comparison operator should be either == or !=
make: "/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk <http://bsd.port.mk>" line 2096:
Malformed conditional (defined(MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER_LIMIT) && (
${MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER_LIMIT} < ${_MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER} ))
make: Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
make: stopped in /usr/ports/graphics/gpu-firmware-kmod
@ports:
I found
https://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=51789+0+current/freebsd-ports
(which points to contrib/bmake svn commit: r363031). I 'git clone'd
/usr/src this morning (European time) and find "reverted r363031" in the
logs, so I would have assumed this is fixed ... though perhaps not in a
way I can make use of. Doing "sudo ./boot-strap" in contrib/bmake didn't
help (I don't know whether it should have .. it seemed the next logical
step).
so, in short, what can I do to get back to building ports?
The error above was fixed in FreeBSD r363035, by reverting r363031 as
you've already found out. In order to fix it locally you need to update
your FreeBSD system. Updating FreeBSD Current is generally accomplished
by rebuilding and installing it from source. Instructions on that can
be found here:
