If so, then report the failure to ports@FreeBSD.org together with relevant details of your ports configuration (including FreeBSD version, environment and /etc/make.conf settings). ******************************************************************** *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports. cvsup'ed at 20040412 12:15CEST cvsupfile: *default host=cvsup2.nl.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress *default tag=RELENG_4_9 src-all *default tag=. ports-all make.conf: CPUTYPE= p4 CFLAGS= -O -pipe COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe MAKE_IDEA= YES USA_RESIDENT= NO #KERNCONF= EVON610C NOPROFILE= true IPFW2= true WRKDIRPREFIX= /usr/obj FreeBSD version is FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE-p4 I make use of a seperate building directory /usr/obj (WRKDIRPREFIX). When the directory /usr/obj/usr/ports exist, and it exist when building packages from the port collection, the mentioned error occured. WORKAROUND: By removing the directory /usr/obj/usr/ports the cd /usr/ports && make index works. Regards, Dennis Meijer
