D) Many Gnome ports still had issues with continuing to link to "libiconv.so.3", such as avahi-app and gdm. People who deleted all ports, removed /usr/local and reinstalled have reported that they do not have the problem. Apparently, some Gnome components are finicky about how they are built. A note from https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Jhbuild/FreeBSD > Remove all .la files from the packages you just installed to prevent > problems during the build. > You'll have to remember to do this again each time you install more > packages. I deleted the contents of /usr/local/lib and ran portupgrade -afu which rebuilt most of the problematic ports. -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Lessons-learned-from-source-upgrade-from-FreeBSD-i386-9-2-Stable-to-FreeBSD-i386-10-0-Release-tp5878893p5880956.html Sent from the freebsd-ports mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
