Hi All, I have been having several problems building ports. I just installed 4.7, and used cvsup'd to update to the latest ports tree. When I build ports I often get really lame errors like 'Unknown character /' in some source file. What it turns out to be is a comment, like: // This is a comment. Changing it to: /* This is a comment */ Fixes the problem. I get other errors too, but I am starting to question whether something else is wrong here and these errors are not normal. Is my make.conf too strict or something? I copied it from the examples, (/usr/share/examples/etc/defaults/make.conf) and did *very* little in customization... My CFLAGS looks like this: CFLAGS= -O -pipe -Wall -ansi What could be the problem here? Or is the compiler I'm using just not like '//' used as comments? Any tips greatly appreciated. -- Nick Jennings nkj@namodn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
