Recently revisited FreeBSD because my box had Windows XP on it and I did not want to fork over another bundle to MS + Norton. I've attempted FreeBSD off and on for many years. Mostly just configuring what comes with it, learning some basics; no ports involvement. Now I am getting into the ports to build/install/whatever you want to call it, some stuff.
I had some trouble and almost locked myself out of the machine because I had done
I am trying to build the GNOME and GNOME2 ports. I'm on FreeBSD 9.2-STABLE. I've done the portsnap stuff (multiple times I might add and please don't ask why). If I run
When I build gnome-libs I get an error
I'm not even sure what that means since ORBit is installed. I can clearly see a difference in the case of the letters but I tried changing the Makefile to have ORBit and that did not work. I removed orbit from the Makefile and it then complained about the previous name in the list. This is the only package preventing me from having GNOME.
By the way, after I had tried to build a bunch of packages after installing FreeBSD I discovered the generated packages from my ports installs were newer than other packages in /var/db/pkg and I thought that might be causing problems so I deleted all the packages in /var/db/pkg and tried to build GNOME again but the error persists. I have issue with KDE4 also but I'll take that up with them.
