(Note that there are three separate invocations of `makeinfo' within the autoconfo port Makefile, and I had to change all three.) Anyway, that's the quick and dirty solution to this problem that just gets you past the build problem for the autoconf port. But obviously, `makeinfo' should not be segfaulting, even if you give it command line arguments & options in some unusual order. So there is still some unresolved problem there, and I don't have a suggsted fix for that. Somebody will need to run gdb on it. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
