failed to compile libiconv

[ibb27]

Trying to compile Xorg from ports on a fresh installed system with new PKGNG. I've updated ports with portsnap. I've read UPDATING and trying to follow commands for compiling libiconv:

#pkg delete -f devel/gettext
#portmaster converters/libiconv devel/gettext

but exited with this error:

Someone to help me, what can I do next?

If /usr/local/bin/libtool does not exist, you can install it from devel/libtool. It will install libtool and libtoolize in the /usr/local/bin path, which should get you past the error.

Thanks, and sorry for the noise.

It's not exactly noise because the port should install devel/libtool automatically if it's not installed because it's a build time dependency.

Should I report the problem anywhere else or developers looking at the forums?

converters/libiconv does have USE_AUTOTOOLS= libtool. If libtool was not already present, it should have been installed as a dependency. The ports system thought it was installed, but the file /usr/local/bin/libtool was missing. So the question is what happened to that file. While it's possible this is a problem with the port, it's more likely something happened on the local system, deleting that file or maybe installing it to a different PREFIX in the first place.

TLDR: don't report it as a bug unless you can repeat the problem.

Strange, x11/xorg was the first package that I wanted to install, and when I found there was no binary package, it was the first that I tried to install via ports. I'll install FBSD FreeBSD on new system tomorrow (with X11), and I will tell you the results.
