Error trying to upgrade hal

[RandomSF]

Normal ports update cycle and hal gives this:

It's outside my understanding. Does anyone know what this is?

[jonsen]

you sure have install libusb ?
delete it, and rebuild hal.

[RandomSF]

I believe libusb is now in the base system. I uninstalled the libusb port, ran portmaster --check-depends and re-ran the install for hal, which still fails.

[RandomSF]

Yes, it was libusb. After uninstalling, I still needed to clean up some cruft so hal would build, but now all is well.

Thanks, jonsen.

OK gang, I think I have a simple step by step process to upgrade Hal. (compile and build the newest version) so you don't have that build error, that I had, and everyone else is getting.

1.) libusb: So, libusb might be installed already, and since it's built into FreeBSD 8.0, I had a hard time of removing it.

So, you can try to remove libusb two ways:

(first make sure you have an updated ports try)

Method 1:
cd /usr/ports/devel/libusb ; make deinstall

method 2:
cd /usr/ports/devel/libusb; make install; make deinstall

2.) Install / upgrade hald

portupgrade hal


That is how I just did it,and it seems to work for me.
