They are not just "near the beginning", they are the first two
categories. I am getting two error messages because INDEX_JOBS
defaults to '2'. If I bump that up:
(28) INDEX_JOBS=4 make index
Generating INDEX-5 - please wait..
DEBUG: Making _accessibility.describe in /usr/obj/usr/ports
make: don't know how to make _accessibility.describe. Stop
DEBUG: Making _arabic.describe in /usr/obj/usr/ports
*** Error code 2
DEBUG: Making _archivers.describe in /usr/obj/usr/ports

make: don't know how to make _archivers.describe. Stop
make: don't know how to make _astro.describe. Stop
*** Error code 2
*** Error code 2
4 errors
Those DEBUG: lines are generated by a line I added to
bsd.port.subdir.mk:
.if defined(BUILDING_INDEX)
describe: ${SUBDIR:S/^/describe./}
.for i in ${SUBDIR}
describe.$i:
@printf "\nDEBUG: Making ${i:S/^/_/:S/$/.describe/} in `pwd`\n"
@${MAKE} -B ${i:S/^/_/:S/$/.describe/} >
${INDEX_TMPDIR}/${INDEXFILE}.de
sc.${i}
.endfor
.else
The thing about all this is that it makes perfectly good sense to
me that the distributed version of bsd.port.subdir.mk will generate
the errors that I am seeing. I have an update which fixes that, and
if I apply that update then `make index' works perfectly fine. What
I don't understand is why I am the only person who sees this -- and
that of course makes me suspect that I *must* have the wrong idea
about something here.
