OLSRD port, Missing dependency operator

Hi, I am trying to compile the olsr port (/usr/port/net/olsrd): but I get this error when running make:

Code:

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/net/olsrd.

read somewhere that I should use gmake, but that didnt help. I created a sym link from gmake to make:

Code: 
RSPRO3# make
Makefile:38: *** missing separator.  Stop.

I am running FreeBSD Current 201010 on a mips machine.
I compiled gmake from ports also, but both it and the make that comes with freebsd doest work...

br,
 
Gmake isn't going to help you. The Makefile is FreeBSD's make specific. You only use gmake for Makefiles that are made for GNU make.

As for the inclusion of Makefile.inc. There shouldn't be any.
 
With rm?

Code: 
root@build:/usr/ports/net/olsrd#ls -l
total 10
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  1268 Jun 18 19:56 Makefile
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   193 Jun 18 19:56 distinfo

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   382 Jun 18 19:56 pkg-plist

Do you have something different?
 
no its the same, Makefile.inc is in the work directory that is created:

Code: 
/usr/ports/net/olsrd/work/olsrd-0.6.0/Makefile.inc

which is included from

Code: 
/usr/ports/net/olsrd/work/olsrd-0.6.0/Makefile

I tried to delete it,but got this error:
Code: 
RSPRO3# make
===>  Building for olsrd-0.6.0
"Makefile", line 45: Could not find Makefile.inc
"Makefile", line 52: Missing dependency operator
"Makefile", line 55: Need an operator
Error expanding embedded variable.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/net/olsrd.

if I comment the include file I get this error:

"Makefile", line 55: Need an operator

I just built olsrd and it builds fine. No errors.

Do a make clean and try again.
 
I get the same error, I tried to build it in VirtualBox and it build fine. So could it be a mips bug?

A side question, when I cross compile buildworld in VirtualBox, can I tell it to add a port with it? Or must I compile a port from the target machine?

It would be a rather weird bug but I guess it's possible.

The base OS and ports are two separate entities. But just like you crosscompiled world you can also crosscompile ports.

I searched abit about crosscompiling ports, but didnt find much:
someone already asked this months ago: http://149.20.54.209/showthread.php?p=70150
but no answer


I read in the file: /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk

Code: 
# ARCH			- The architecture of the target machine, such as would be
#				  returned by "uname -p".  (Note: Ports should test against
#				  ARCH, and not the host machine's architecture which is
#				  MACHINE_ARCH, to enable ports to be cross-built.)

so I added ARCH=mips to the Makefile of olsrd, but nothing happened, I added an echo to verify that ARCH is changed.

According to the text above it is for cross-built.

Can you guide me to how to cross compile ports?

br,
 
I've never cross compiled anything but I know it's possible. The machines that build all the FreeBSD packages are running on AMD64 but produce packages for different architectures.

I think you need to use mipsel or mipseb depending on the endianness of your MIPS.

Found some interesting information that might be helpful here: http://bsdimp.blogspot.com/2006/09/cross-building-freebsd.html

I searched a little around the net and found that you need a port called Tinderbox. Check this good site: http://wiki.freebsd.org/Tinderbox

yes, I have found this one too, is a really interesting reading :)

I have solved my problem, it seems I have during my rampage created a symbolic link /usr/bin/gmake -> /usr/bin/make (I am affected by several years of using Ubuntu!! :p)

so when I run make it thought gmake is installed!! I deleted it, and make install a real gmake, and everything compiled fine!!

Sorry for makeing such a big mess, but I guess I learned two things that I can share with everyone

1- gmake is not make in FreeBSD in constrast to Ubuntu :p
2- want to cross compile ports on your host machine? Try Tinderbox!

thank you SirDice for you help! :)

btw, how do I mark a thread as solved?

EDIT------

I forgot to attach this link: http://vboxtindi.chruetertee.ch/

ARCH is set by the ports system (in bsd.port.mk) so Makefiles can read it and act differently on different target architectures.

For an example, see /usr/ports/lang/clisp/Makefile:
Code: 
.if ${ARCH} == "amd64"
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--disable-mmap
.endif

Setting a different value in ARCH is not going to cross-compile the port. That's up to the build environment ...I think.
