I simply untarred his port directory into my /usr/ports/mail/ dir and
tried a make. On Linux, all I had to do was drop the spec file into
the SPEC dir and rpm -ba mutt.spec. I haven't checked the port setup
because I am still new to FreeBSD and am not quite familiar with the
details therin.
Notice that the vvv distribution directory has several patches? He is
also kind enough to provide a mutt.spec file for building rpms and a
port.1.3.19.tgz file, which is typically unzipped into the mail port
directory and built for install - FreeBSDs version of package
management for those Linux only dudes out there. It basically creates
a package on the fly and installs it. Pretty clean as far as I can
tell so far.
Anyway, I am getting some problems in the regex.c file. something
about 'wt' being undeclared, and undeclared functions wctype - which
is actually a typedef in an included file, etc.
Anyway again, here is the real confusion: this file is not changed by
the patches! I built mutt-devel (distributed version of 1.3.19) and
compared the regex.c files - no difference.
Hmm.
I also noticed the makefile in the port directory was configuring
--with-regex. Maybe that is my problem. I'll try bagging that config
directive.
At this point, any suggestions would be quite welcome. As long as
they are intended to help me get this build done anyway :)
Thanks all
Lou
