Installing GUI Error code 1

[Herli]

While installing KDE5, Error code 1 appears cause of this:

===>  mesa-libs-18-1-9 needs Python 2.7 at most, but 3.6 was specified.

any thoughts?

ps: i'm using FreeBSD 11.2

Yeah, looks like you're trying to force it to use Python 3.6 but only 2.7 is supported.

So what should i do?
shall i change PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION in /etc/make.conf?

 

[SirDice]

No, that's not correct in any case. What's in /etc/make.conf right now?

Nothing! i was just looking for a way to set python 2.7 as default.
i was installing KDE5 by default, have no idea why python 3.6 is default instead of 2.7.

What's the reason why you're using ports instead of packages?

i just did: pkg install x11/kde5 then
cd /usr/ports/x11/kde5 then make install clean till Error code 1 happened cause of the reason i told.

Don't do both. You either use pkg install kde5 or use the ports. Not both. In your case I would suggest just using pkg(8) and not use ports at all.
