--- Comment #13 from Mateusz Viste <mateusz@viste.fr> ---
Hi,

I fear most of the things you listed are black magic to me.

I installed the "poudriere" system, but it only says "Error: Unable to find
/usr/local/share/poudriere/../../etc/poudriere.conf", so I obviously missed
something obvious.

"make check-plist" says: "make: don't know how to make check-plist. Stop",
which I am not sure is abnormal, since I have the same result on all existing
ports I tested.

Tinderbox wasn't able to install on my system, failing to fetch some required
file:

  fetch:
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/cmake-2.8.12.1.tar.gz: File
unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)

Portlint is one thing that I was able to use out of the box. It generated a few
fatal errors at first, but I fixed them all by fiddling with the Makefile. Now
it only says this:

  root@bsd:/usr/ports/net/motsognir # portlint
  WARN: Makefile: Consider adding STAGE support.
  0 fatal errors and 1 warning found.
  root@bsd:/usr/ports/net/motsognir #

To be honest, I wasn't expecting the FreeBSD port system to be that
sophisticated (which translates to 'complex' to someone not used to FreeBSD
porting - like me). I see that the "poudriere", "tinderbox", etc seem to be
really powerful tools, but they don't work out of the box, and although I'd
love to say I will make the motsognir port work on them, I know I won't have
the time for it.. :/

I attached here the latest version of my ("un-poudriered") port, just in case
someone, some time in the future, would like to take it to the next level. I am
quite confident now that porting stuff to BSD should be done only by people
used to it (or smarter than me, maybe). I will get back to writing C, it's way
easier than BSD porting, apparently :)

Anyway, as of now, I think it will be best you just reject this bug report, as
its unlikely to evolve in any near future. I am really sorry for having wasted
your time on this.

best regards,
Mateusz
