>Description:
The port of XFree86-3.3.2 (international version) calls on a file called
Wraphelp.c, which is summoned by fetch. Unfortunately, fetch seems to
insist on transferring the file in binary mode instead of ascii, with
the end result that the file has all it's lines ending in \r\n instead
of \n. This breaks the install process, as the file can't be compiled.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86; make; make install
>Fix:
Add these lines to the bottom of the ports Makefile: (UNTESTED)
post-fetch:
sed -e 's/
$//' ${DISTDIR}/xc/Wraphelp.c > ${DISTDIR}/xc/foo
mv ${DISTDIR}/xc/foo ${DISTDIR}/xc/Wraphelp.c
