pkg-config => pkgconf problems: "patch-fail-on-missing_and_keep-backslash"

[johnnynyquist]

Hi all,

Running a mostly-binary 8.3-RELEASE, after a recent upgrade I got bitten by the "no apache module for php5" 'feature' again.. I love it when I have to compile a 10mb tarball on embedded hardware.. However, this time, a new wrinkle in the course of building php from source: I ran into the "pkg-config vs pkgconf" 'feature'.

Having resolved the dependency issues I set about building pkgconf, only to have the build fail:

[b@ocean pkgconf]# pwd
/usr/ports/devel/pkgconf
[b@ocean pkgconf]# make clean
===>  Cleaning for pkgconf-0.8.9
[b@ocean pkgconf]# make
===>  Patching for pkgconf-0.8.9

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/pkgconf.
[b@ocean pkgconf]# uname -a
FreeBSD ocean.301south.net 8.3-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p3 #0: Mon Jun 11 23:52:38 UTC 2012

[b@ocean pkgconf]#

Any hints? Thanks in advance.

Build packages on a "better" system and install your own built package.

Remove the patches from the files/ directory, there shouldn't be any. Probably some leftovers.

Got it- that solved the problem. I got confused about what make clean was supposed to do.

and honestly, it didn't take THAT long to build.

Thanks!

The make clean command cleans up the work directory, nothing more. In your case there was a leftover patch that should not have been there.
