The port graphics/ffff is currently broken with gcc-42. To unbreak the port with gcc-42 the compiler options "-msse -msse2 -m3dnow" should be used. I filed a PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=117874 But as pav noted not all processors do have those instructions. What should we do? Since this port is a fast mandelbrot fractal generator may be just IGNORE on processors without those instructions? Or use gcc <=34 for all FreeBSD versions (the port is only for i386)? Something else? What do you think? Thanks! WBR -- Boris Samorodov (bsam) Research Engineer, http://www.ipt.ru Telephone & Internet SP FreeBSD committer, http://www.FreeBSD.org The Power To Serve
