What command did you use that generated the error? xorg-server clearly depends on xproto and that is not installed. The ports system should automatically install all dependencies before attempting to install a port or package. It looks like you are installing this (and, perhaps other) ports by building from the sources. While this can provide advantage in some cases, it is generally not encouraged and is certainly far more time consuming. Installing pre-compiled binaries is far, far faster and less error prone. I'd recommend reading the FreeBSD Handbook chapter on ports. https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html. At least read through 5.4 which covers the basics and the use of pre-build binaries. -- Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer, Retired
