I have ran into a recent issue, after a lot of trouble shooting I have
narrowed it down to something in my /etc/src.conf
the full file just has:
WITHOUT_BIND="YES"
WITHOUT_NTP="YES"
WITHOUT_FLOPPY="YES"
WITHOUT_FREEBSD_UPDATE="YES"
WITHOUT_PROFILE="YES"
Of course bind and ntp are added in by ports after the system is built,
everything compiles, I have a very specific issue with one thing not
working on an installed port, with no apparent error. To make a long
story short though one of my build attempts, I forgot to copy the
/etc/src.conf file to the new system. And well the problem was gone,
when I discovered that's what I did differently, I commented out all
lines on a different system rebuilt and installed, sure enough it
worked. Looking at the src.conf options that I was using, I can't see
how any option other than the WITHOUT_PROFILE could possibly be causing
the problem. Though I am in the process of building systems with
different options removed in an attempt to find out for sure.
The WITHOUT_PROFILE was added from a help document I read some time ago
about upgrading from source, and hasn't caused any problems before now.
I know it instructs the build process to avoid compiling profiled
libraries. But my searching hasn't been able to lead me to what the
difference is between a profiled and non-profiled library is.
