You know, I was just about to mail the output of a build error I= am running into right now with the XFree86-4 port. My system has= 4.02 running right now, and I need to update it to 4.20 for support of= my Radeon video card. My build consistently fails at the XFree86-4-documents port each= time: "Makefile", line 1050: Missing dependency operator "Makefile", line 1051: Missing dependency operator "Makefile", line 1100: Missing dependency operator "Makefile", line 1125: Missing dependency operator "Makefile", line 1126: Missing dependency operator make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4-documents/work/xc/doc/specs. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4-documents/work/xc/doc. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4-documents. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4. This occurred after a fresh (repeated) cvsup of my ports tree. On Wed, 8 May 2002 11:27:20 -0500, David W.
