Midnight Commander upgrading woes

ZIMMAH

ZIMMAH

So I looked through /usr/ports/UPDATING to see if there were any notes. There were none. The upgrade on the test server went without a hitch. Old version out, new version in.

Since I had 12 more servers to go through I decided to do # cd /usr/ports/misc/mc ; make ; make deinstall reinstall. Probably should've used double empersants instead of semi colons, but didn't.

So I'm left with 12 servers that do not have Midnight Commander, because while compiling we run into the following:

Code:

and that's will all the configure options off. I tried searching the forums, tried searching google, and except for some russian and chinese pages I didn't really find anything useful. The russian and chinese pages may have contained the information I was looking for but I'm not exactly fluent in either. I hope someone here can help.
 
Probably not related but I suggest updating to 8.3. FreeBSD 8.1 is going to be End-of-Life at the end of this month.
 
We'll be sticking with 8.1 for awhile. The ports still work on older systems.

I don't suppose you know the solution to my problem? Off th etop of your head? ;)
 
No, but there have been quite some changes to the OPTION framework. And since 8.1 is (close to) not being supported anymore they're not going to test if it works on 8.1.

Simply put after 31 July, 8.1 isn't supported anymore. No security updates, no ports fixed to run on 8.1 etc.
 
So because it's close to not being supported it's not supported? There is no way I can upgrade to 8.3 right now since I'll be leaving on vacation soon and can't risk servers having problems.
