Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi, I've been trying to install WindowMaker-0.17.5 and I cannot get it to go. I have always had trouble w/ this one - the older versions I've tried have always blown up during the install portion of the port make. What happens is during the install, various pixmaps pop up and after a number of these the install fails. I can reproduce this on 2 machines here, one which I just installed 2.2.7 on and my older machine which started at 2.2.2 I think. This also has happened on my home machine which started at 2.1.7 or so. It used to be I could still get it to install by doing it on the console, but now not even that works (there is no package available that I could find for 0.17.5 - that used to work too or I'd test that as well). If I do the install in X I get errors like the following during the install: fermi: {1} make install^M >> Checksum OK for WindowMaker-0.17.5.tar.gz. ===> Installing for windowmaker-0.17.5 -> snip <- /bin/sh ./mkinstalldirs /usr/X11R6/lib list='libPropList.a libPropList.so.0.7'; for p in $list; do if test -f $p; then echo " install -c -o bin -g bin -m 444 $p /usr/X11R6/lib/$p"; install -c -o b in -g bin -m 444 $p /usr/X11R6/lib/$p; else :; fi; done -> snip<- Making install in wrlib /bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /usr/X11R6/lib (at this point a pixmap appears, kill the pixmap, another appears...) and this continues until: mkdir: /usr/X11R6/lib: File exists *** Error code 1 If I try this on the console window I get a similar set of errors, only it can't open display : Making install in wrlib /bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /usr/local/lib cant open display cant open display cant open display list='libwraster.a'; for p in $list; do if test -f $p; then echo " install -c -o bin -g bin -m 444 $p /usr/local/lib/$p"; install -c -o bin -g bin -m 444 $p /usr/local/lib/$p; else :; fi; done It again continues and errors out as before. Brian Handy (the maintainer and I) have been unable to determine WHY this happens as yet. It obviously doesn't do this on his machine or he wouldn't be the maintainer. Does anyone have ANY ideas why this might be happening (a few others have noticed this occurrence as well)????? I'll also note that this is the ONLY port I've ever had this happen on and it's happened consistently on every release of WM I've tried (and I've tried most of them). Deeply puzzled and annoyed!
