This is the first time I have written to this list, so I would appreciate any critiques...especially my descision to choose 'questions' rather than 'ports'...not so much of my spelling which I am working on. OK, the other day I tried to compile a test C++ program for a class that I am taking. It complained of a missing library so I decided to install egcs before working out the library path stuff (and I wasn't sure if the stock cc was built with C++ support or not.) Since I ran into a problem with the egcs port install (and also, parenthetically, a seemingly different problme with a gimp port install some days before,) I upgraded from 3.1 to 3.3 before begging for assistance. The upgrade went well considering that it was my first attempt I think. Below are a few clips from my diary which document the problems I am having, and I have put (what I consider to be) relevant portions of a dmesg at the end in case it would help. Thanks to anyone who can point me in a helpfull direction and/or explain the cause and nature of the trouble I am having. And, of course, many many thanks to those who are involved in the FreeBSD project...I am very impressed and get more so each day! -Tom 991001 - Wiped out the egcs work directory and did a make then make install. Same deal... make install fails with this: ------------------- ... gmake[2]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/lang/egcs/work /gcc-2.95.1/i386-unknown-freebsd 3.3/libiberty/testsuite' gmake[2]: Nothing to be done for `install'. gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/lang/egcs/work /gcc-2.95.1/i386-unknown-freebsd3.3/libiberty/testsuite' gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/lang/egcs/work /gcc-2.95.1/i386-unknown-freebsd3.3/libiberty' ===> Generating temporary packing list /usr/libexec/elf/strip: /usr/local/bin/i386-portbld-freebsd3.3-gcc: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 ... --------------------- Note: sure enough, /usr/local/bin/ has only i386-unknown-fre... directory.

He didn't seem to get a response when he asked around about what happened and if his kluge would cause other trouble. Another person had a conversation with O'Brien which, unfortunately tapered off just when O'Brien was about to tell him what happened :-( - I was about to create a similar symb link, but a little more research showed that perhaps a better understanding was in order (above find and ls). The Makefiles are kinda confusing to me so perhaps I should ask my first question of the list...ports or questions? ---------dmesg--------- root@abit /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib> dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-1999 FreeBSD Inc.
