It said something like that it couldn't create /tmp.some.thing.more which looks odd. Investigating the reason I found that the configure script in the scripts subdirectory expects the environment variable TMPDIR to be set before configuring. Too bad my system (taken from -stable to -current with a "make world" some time ago) doesn't define it by default and that the port doesn't bother to set it to /tmp for me ... >How-To-Repeat: Try to make slurp from the ports w/o defining TMPDIR anywhere. >Fix: Let the makefile define TMPDIR if it is not set or use some subdirectory of the port's work subdirectory as TMPDIR. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
