>Description:
/sys/i386/conf/LINT (or NOTES in current) says
#
# Allow user-mode programs to manipulate their local descriptor tables.
# This option is required for the WINE Windows(tm) emulator, and is
# not used by anything else (that we know of).
#
options USER_LDT #allow user-level control of i386 ldt
the pkg-message of port graphics/avifile says:
ATTENTIONATTENTION:
This port requires a kernel built with
the directive:
options USER_LDT
>How-To-Repeat:
Compare LINT with ports/graphics/avifile/pkg-message
>Fix:
Make LINT (NOTES) read
# This option is required for the WINE Windows(tm) emulator, as well
# as the port graphics/avifile.
# It is not used by anything else (that we know of).
