This might be fallout from recent build changes, or a side effect of the broken symlinks… > Thanks, > -NGie > > install: //usr/share/locale/ca_IT.ISO8859-1/LC_CTYPE: No such file or directory > *** Error code 71 > > Stop. > make[5]: stopped in /usr/src/git/share/ctypedef > *** Error code 1 > > Stop. > make[4]: stopped in /usr/src/git/share > *** Error code 1 > > Stop. > make[3]: stopped in /usr/src/git > *** Error code 1 > > Stop. > make[2]: stopped in /usr/src/git > *** Error code 1 > > Stop. > make[1]: stopped in /usr/src/git > *** Error code 1 > > Stop. > make: stopped in /usr/src/git > $ ls -l /usr/share/locale/ca_IT.ISO8859-1/LC_CTYPE > lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 27 Nov 1 16:24 /usr/share/locale/ca_IT.ISO8859-1/LC_CTYPE -> ../la_LN.ISO8859-1/LC_CTYPE > $ readlink -f /usr/share/locale/ca_IT.ISO8859-1/LC_CTYPE > /usr/share/locale/la_LN.ISO8859-1 > $ ls `readlink -f /usr/share/locale/ca_IT.ISO8859-1/LC_CTYPE` > ls: /usr/share/locale/la_LN.ISO8859-1: No such file or directory There is a bug in install(1) basically it tries to follow symlinks when installing a file instead of replacing the symlink with the said file. In the current case the problem is la_LN.ISO8859-1 has been removed before, so the previous symlink is a dead symlink meaning install(1) fails to open it and die here is a proposal for a fix: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D4191 Best regards, Bapt [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEARECAAYFAlZLCcEACgkQ8kTtMUmk6EyfWACeMLk0/ftdfS8zYezz1tPRnbqa /u4AoKUPOtYRyos33qEZEgtQ47/Yd6Ll =h/9p -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
