Hey everyone,
I'm still having problems using the Ports Collection.
To summarize the problem, I'm getting errors every time I try to
run "make" on a port. Ports used to be my favorite feature of FreeBSD,
but they haven't worked since I installed 3.4 Release (on a clean
machine).
What I see when I try to make a port is errors like:
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 649: warning: String comparison
operator should be either == or !=
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 649: Malformed conditional
(defined(USE_NEWGCC) && ${OSVERSION} < 400012)
So far it's been suggested that I'm using gmake instead of BSD's make,
but I've verified that is not the case. It was also suggested that
I cvsup the ports collection. I have tried that, but I'm getting the
same problem with the latest and greatest ports.
It seems clear to me a this point that the problem is not with the
ports collection itself, but with some other problem with my machine's
configuration. It should be noted that I can compile kernels and
other programs (for instance ssh) just fine using make.
Basically, I don't know what else to check. The ports files themselves
seem fine. make seems fine. cc seems fine.
What next? I'm baffled!
Thanks,
-Jon
