I know that does work, I just tried it under old version 1.7.1 (the one on my Univ. acct). Anyhow, assuming I'm wrong on what that option means, I have the source for colorls resident on my system, but the fetch breaks anyhow, looking for a utility (ncftp2) that it wouldn't even need if it existed. Is this correct? Shouldn't that depends test be made after it looks locally for the sources? Finally, I setenv'ed NO_DEPENDS so I could check the next step in spite of my lack of ncftp2, and the build failed, it was trying to patch a directory that doesn't exist: patch: **** can't cd to /usr/ports/misc/colorls/work/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/bin/ls: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 That directory sure doesn't exist on my machine, does yours have one? > > Satoshi > ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!
