Warnings when building Gnome2 port

N

Netherfox

Hi,

I am trying to build Gnome2 in x11/gnome2 using plain old

Code: 
make install clean

and receive the following warnings:

Code: 
./gtk.override: In function '_wrap_gtk_message_dialog_format_secondary_text':
./gtk.override:6355: warning: null format string
./gtk.override: In function '_wrap_gtk_message_dialog_format_secondary_markup':
./gtk.override:6378: warning: null format string

This causes the build to hang indefinitely.

Any ideas?
 
First of all you have to make sure your ports collection is up to date. As root type:

[CMD=]"portsnap fetch extract update"[/CMD]

After you have updated ports, simply enter the commands for building one at a time (to isolate any problems that may arise). So first you should [CMD=]"make"[/CMD]. After that is completed [CMD=]"make install"[/CMD] and then finally [CMD=]"make clean"[/CMD].

Gnome is a port that takes a long time to build. If possible, why not try installing the package instead? [CMD=]"pkg_add -r gnome2"[/CMD] only takes a few minutes to install.
 
Thanks for the responses.

I updated ports and tried the make targets independently as you said, neilms, but it continues to hang at the original warnings.

I would definitely prefer to resolve this issue head-on if possible, rather than installing from packages. I really like the idea of installing from source and don't want to give up on it.
 
portmaster(8) builds from source, give a shot.

Install ports-mgmt/portmaster:

# cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster && make install clean

After installing a port, you might have to run:

# rehash

Copy /usr/local/etc/portmaster.rc.sample to /usr/local/etc/portmaster.rc

Uncomment this lines in /usr/local/etc/portmaster.rc
Code: 
BACKUP=bopt
ALWAYS_SCRUB_DISTFILES=dopt
PM_MAKE_ARGS='-DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER'
SAVE_SHARED=wopt
PM_LOG=/var/log/portmaster.log

To install x11/gnome2 run the following:

# portmaster x11/gnome2
 
cpu82, sorry I must need more caffeine. I didn't see your request for the py-gtk logfile originally. I did a search for it, but don't seem to be able to find it.

As for the portmaster software, I will definitely check it out, but I'd still like to figure out what exactly is causing this hang-up for future reference.

Paste it using some service like pastebin.com or similar and show here the URL.

Do you use a command line client for pastebin?

No, but there is the possibility of using misc/pastebinit, which supports the following pastebins:
- sprunge.us
- pastie.org
- paste.ubuntu.org.cn
- fpaste.org
- pb.daviey.com
- slexy.org

- p.defau.lt
- paste.debian.net
- cxg.de
- paste2.org

You could force-deinstall the problem ports, and let them be installed as dependencies. Or set the FORCE_PKG_REGISTER variable to force the install of the ports that are already installed. Offhand, I don't know how to do that with portmaster(8), but the man page should tell how.

That's not something that should be needed routinely.
