The following reply was made to PR ports/164029; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Rob Farmer <rfarmer@predatorlabs.net> To: bug-followup@freebsd.org, Jan Henrik Sylvester <me@janh.de> Cc: Subject: Re: ports/164029: [PATCH] graphics/bmeps fix build with databases/gdbm Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2012 15:07:20 -0800 The upstream site says: In May 2010 I merged several formerly separated projects into the dktools project. I hope this results in easier maintenance for me and in easier installation for the users to have the formerly ``dklibs'', ``bmeps'', ``fig2vect'', ``jlayout'', ``genau'', ``dktools'', ``fchksum'', ``tcptool'', ``hostsadm'', ``fsnmp'', ``yanolc'' and ``prqd'' projects in one package now. As you can see, the problem is that the distfile has a bunch of totally unrelated programs all together. So the configure script is trying to find libraries for all of them. I get this message: ERROR: None of the supported database APIs was found on this system. At least one of NDBM, GDBM or Berkeley DB is required. NDBM is shipped as part of the OS for some UNIX systems. GDBM is the Gnu Database Manager, this software can be found on GNU software mirrors, i.e. ftp://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/gnu/gnudbm/ . The Berkeley DB is an open source embedded database system. SleepyCat is now owned by Oracle, I found the sources at http://www.oracle.com/database/berkeley-db/ but the URL may change if Oracle reorganizes the web site. WARNING: The netsnmp library is missing. This library is recommended. Some programs (i.e. fsnmp, klpinfo and snmpyalc) can not be built without this library. Use your favorite package management method to install the library _and_ the developer support. If there is no package available for your system you can attempt to install from source. See http://sourceforge.net/projects/netsnmp/ for the sources. But, the build doesn't actually fail because we only build bmeps, which shouldn't need databases or snmp. Can you ignore the message and continue, or does it completely fail? -- Rob Farmer
