My experience with this is that the processing done for MLINKS and MAN<section> variables in the port master Makefile takes a LONG time. A Really, Really LONG time. Minutes on a pentium pro 200. Let it spin for a while if you are running on a slower cpu. If you grep the bsd.port.mk family of files for MLINKS you'll see that make's internal pattern matching and substitution facility is run against some of the variables which is one place where things could be taking time when MLINKS is a long list. -Chris On Sun, 23 May 1999, Jeroen Ruigrok/Asmodai wrote: > Hi, > > it seems as if the recent addition of MLIST to the Makefile of TCL 8.0.5 in > /usr/ports/lang/tcl80 doesn't work the way it should be. > > a make doesn't show anything... > > a make -dA shows as if the make process is in a loop... > > if ye let the make run and monitor the processes it seems as if there are a > few make targets going haywire since one grep of make in ps gave me fetch, > fetch, configure as well as patch... > > This doesn't look right to me... > > Anyone care to explain this to me?
