I run several machines with 2.2.7-RELEASE and have been having more and more trouble lately with certain ports. Specifically, today, the problems are with /usr/ports/graphics/xpm and /usr/ports/graphics/giflib. Every time I see the same problem - the build errors out with an Error 1 due to a "Malformed conditional" on a line usually like: .if $(({$PORTOBJFORMAT} == "elf" )) I've looked at the code and can get by it if I modify the Makefile so that the condition is commented out and simply execute the steps related to the FALSE condition here (since 2.2.7 isn't elf, of course). However, I would think that someone wrote the code like this for a reason - to support both 2.2.7 and 3.0 with the same ports tree. What package do I need to install (or remake) in order to support the given syntax in the Makefile?
