libglut woes...

Having read the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING (20120804), where it states
The libglut library is replaced by the freeglut library. Due to shlib version bump all glut users should be rebuild. Please follow the instructions below to upgrade.

I merrily ran the following:

[CMD="sd"]env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1
portupgrade -fo graphics/freeglut libglut\*
portupgrade -frx freeglut freeglut[/CMD]

In my infinite wisdom :OO, I followed the instructions without realising that a large number of ports that I have installed rely on it: XFCE, Open Office, Compiz and X11 to mention a few larger ones.

It has now been four days (!) :O worth of compile time now, and still going strong with OOo taking over two days to compile. This machine is a 2.2 GHz Pentium-4m with 1GB ram...

Now while this seems like a nag, its not:h: OOo didn't take 2 and a bit days to install originally, so I am thinking something is a foot with my machine.

Also I don't have an /etc/src.conf file and have the following in my /etc/make.conf file:
Code:
CPUTYPE?=pentium4m
CFLAGS= -O2 -pipe -funroll_loop -ffast-math -fno-strict-aliasing
OPTIMIZED_FLAGS=YES
BUILD_OPTIMIZED=YES
WITH_CPUFLAGS=YES
WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=YES
WITHOUT_DEBUG=YES
NO_PROFILE=YES
NO_INET6=YES
MAKE_SHELL?=sh
QT4_OPTIONS=QGTKSTYLE
PERL_VERSION=5.12.4

The laptop was installed with an 9.0-RC2 iso from bare metal late last year and have only recently updated the kernel to 9.0-RELEASE-p4 via svn and source compiled with custom kernel settings.

For reference, the GCC/CC version is 4.2.1.20070831, and was recently updated by [CMD=""]portsupgrade[/CMD] and confirmed to be up to date with [CMD=""]pkg_version[/CMD]. This came about from updating the Ports tree.

Looking at the OOo build timings here (http://www.openoffice.org/porting/freebsd/benchmark.html) for my machine it should be in the region of 10 hours odd, not 55 hours...x(

Helpful people of the FreeBSD forums, any ideas where I could start looking please?
 
You're building it on laptop? That will take a lot more time that normal PC.
I was building OpenOffice on my Pentium4 @3GHz with 2.5GB ram for 12-24h.


I also suppose your laptop will be swapping as it only have 1 GB ram. You need more to build Office.
So it will be even slower
 
Thanks; Done.

Would I have to (dare I say it) recompile yet again, if so how would I tackle the ports ([CMD=""]portupgrade -f[/CMD])?

(FYI: Finished running portupgrade, it took about 120 hours in the end all in for libglut, XFCE, OpenOffice, and others since Nov 2011...)
