Hello All,
I am trying to install gnuchess but when I start the build process it errors out as follows.
----------------------------------------
tardis# make install clean
===> Vulnerability check disabled, database not found

Stop in /usr/ports/games/gnuchess.

Hello, I attempted to install the port and recieved the same error as you. The current makefile does not grab the gnuchess.tar.gz, whenever WITH_OPENING_BOOK is specified, because EXTRACT_ONLY is misplaced underneathe of that section. Comment out that EXTRACT_ONLY line and underneathe the MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR line add the following two lines:
DISTFILES= ${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION}${EXTRACT_SUFX} EXTRACT_ONLY= ${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION}${EXTRACT_SUFX}
I suppose someone should submit a patch for this... -Aaron Myles Landwehr

Thanks Aaron,
That did the trick.
Questions however.
The DISTFILES= statement you added is obviously different from the DISTFILES+= in the (WITH_OPENING_BOOK) section.
Does the + symbol just mean in addition to the main file?
I am guessing if I am correct in the + comment above that an 'EXTRACT_ONLY" statement is not needed because it is an additional file to the main?
Looking at another Makefile, the gcompris2 one to be exact, I do not see
an EXTRACT_ONLY line. I looked at two others and they also do not have an EXTRACT_ONLY line.
This statement is only needed in certain circumstances, or there is more then one way to do the same thing?
Thanks Sean
