BTW, I think you can recognize if you're hitting the "small subset" by noting the kind of error you're getting. If it's a compile error, and spit out from gcc, then you're probably hitting the version problem. I've seen some things that were dependent on some changed files in /usr/include do this. Mostly, tho, the errors you'll see are kicked out by make itself, and those should be fixed by updating the bsd.port.mk file. I really do think everyone ought to update their bsd.port.mk. I think that what I see above is none of the above, either the port is busted or you don't have a complete port you're working with, and I won't know until I see your error listing. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
