Description |
Type |
| ??? |
The automated script cannot even guess what is wrong with your port. Either the script is really stupid (more likely), or your port has ventured into unknown lands (congratulations!). |
COMMON |
| arch |
The port does not build on a particular architecture, due to assembler or linker errors. In some easy cases this is due to not picking up the various ARCH configuration variables in the Makefile; you'll see this via, e.g., a Sparc make failing while looking for an i386 subdirectory. For the 64-bit architectures, a common problem is the assumption many programmers make that pointers may be cast to and from 32-bit ints. In other cases the problems run much deeper, in which case ONLY_FOR_ARCHS may be needed. |
COMMON |
| autoconf |
Your port depends on autoconf, but the Makefile either doesn't have USE_AUTOCONF, or does not use USE_AUTOCONF_VER correctly. |
RARE |
|
Your port depends on autoheader, but the Makefile cannot find it; set USE_AUTOHEADER. |
RARE |
| automake |
Your port depends on automake, but the Makefile either doesn't have USE_AUTOMAKE, or does not use USE_AUTOMAKE_VER correctly. |
RARE |
| bad_C++_code |
There is a compiler error which is caused by something specific to C++. |
COMMON |
| cgi-bin |
Your port assumes that a directory (usually /usr/local/www/cgi-bin) already exists, but by default it doesn't. |
RARE |
| checksum |
The checksum of one or more of the files is incorrect. |
COMMON |
| chown |
POSIX has deprecated the usage "chown user.group filename" in favor of "chown user:group filename". This happened quite some time ago, actually, but it is only now being enforced. (The change was made to allow '.' in usernames). |
RARE |
| compat6x |
This port relies on libraries from FreeBSD 6.X, and the compat6x package is not installed. A dependency to misc/compat6x must be added. |
RARE |
| compiler_error |
There is a C compiler error which is caused by something other than e.g. "new compiler error". |
COMMON |
| configure_error |
The port's configure script produced some kind of error. |
COMMON |
| coredump |
Some process in the build chain dropped core. While your port may indeed be faulty, the process that dropped core should also be fixed. |
RARE |
| depend_object |
The port is trying to reinstall a dependency that already exists. This is usually caused by the first field of a *_DEPENDS line (the obj of obj:dir[:target]) indicating a file that is not installed by the dependency, causing it to be rebuilt even though it has already been added from a package. |
RARE |
| depend_package |
There was an error during adding dependencies from packages. It is the fault of the package being added, not this port. |
RARE |
| disk_full |
The disk filled up on the build system. It is not your fault. |
TRANSIENT |
| DISPLAY |
This port requires an X display to build. There is nothing you can do about it unless you can somehow make it not require an X connection. |
RARE |
| distinfo_update |
The contents of distinfo does not match the list of distfiles or patchfiles. |
COMMON |
| f77 |
The Fortran 77 compiler is no longer installed in the base OS. This port requires USE_FORTRAN. |
COMMON |
| fetch |
One or more of the files could not be fetched. |
COMMON |
| fetch_timeout |
Your fetch process was killed because it took too long. (More accurately, it did not produce any output for a long time.) Please put sites with better connectivity near the beginning of MASTER_SITES. |
RARE |
| gcc4_error |
Your code does not run with the latest gcc version (pending import to -CURRENT). See http://wiki.freebsd.org/gcc4 for further information. |
COMMON |
| gcc_bug |
You have tickled a bug in gcc itself. See the GNU bug report documentation for further information. |
RARE |
| hook |
A pre-condition hook failed to execute successfully |
RARE |
| install_error |
There was an error during installation. |
COMMON |
| LIB_DEPENDS |
The LIB_DEPENDS line specifies a library name incorrectly. This often happens when a port is upgraded and the shared library version number changes. |
COMMON |
| linker_error |
There is a linker error which is caused by something other than those flagged by e.g. MOTIF or MOTIFLIB. |
COMMON |
| makefile |
There is an error in the Makefile, possibly in the default targets. |
COMMON |
| manpage |
There is a manpage listed in a MAN? macro that does not exist or is not installed in the right place. |
RARE |
|
There is a missing header file. This is usually caused by either (1) a missing dependency, or (2) specifying an incorrect location with -I in the compiler command line. |
COMMON |
| mtree |
The port leaves ${PREFIX} in a state that is not consistent with the mtree definition after pkg_delete. This usually means some files are missing from PLIST. It could also mean that your installation scripts create files or directories not properly deleted by the deinstallation scripts. Another possibility is that your port is deleting some directories it is not supposed to, or incorrectly modifying some directory's permission. |
RARE |
| new_compiler_error |
The new gcc (2.95.x or above) does not like the source code. This is usually due to stricter C++ type checking or changes in register allocation policy. |
COMMON |
| NFS |
There was either a temporary NFS error on the build system (which is not your fault), or the WRKSRC is invalid (which is your fault). |
TRANSIENT |
| patch |
One or more of the patches failed. |
COMMON |
| perl |
perl is no longer included by default in the base system, but your port's configuration process depends on it. While this change helps avoid having a stale version of perl in the base system, it also means that many ports now need to include USE_PERL5. |
COMMON |
| perl5 |
There is a problem in processing a perl5 module. |
RARE |
| PLIST |
There is a missing item in the PLIST. Note that this is often caused by an earlier error that went undetected. In this case, you should fix the error and also the build process so it will fail upon an error instead of continuing, since that makes debugging that much harder. |
COMMON |
| process_failed |
The make process terminated unexpectedly, due to something like a signal 6 or bus error. |
COMMON |
| python |
The Makefile needs to define USE_PYTHON. |
RARE |
| runaway_process |
Your make package process was killed because it took too long. (More accurately, it did not produce any output for a long time.) It is probably because there is a process spinning in an infinite loop. Please check the log to determine the exact cause of the problem. |
RARE |
| segfault |
Some process in the build chain dereferenced a NULL pointer, and encountered a segmentation fault. While your port may indeed be faulty, the process that dropped core should also be fixed. |
RARE |
| stdio |
You need to bring your port up to date with the current . |
RARE |
| struct_changes |
Your port is trying to refer to structure elements that are not really there. This is often due to changes in the underlying include files. |
RARE |
| sysvipc |
Your port is interacting badly with the System V InterProcess Communication code. |
RARE |
| threads |
This port is attempting to use the wrong pthread library. You should replace static instances of -pthread, -lpthread, and -lc_r with ${PTHREAD_LIBS}. |
RARE |
| USE_XLIB |
You should specify USE_XLIB for this port since it appears to use X. |
RARE |
| varargs |
is obsolete; use instead. |
RARE |
| WRKDIR |
The port is attempting to change something outside ${WRKDIR}. See handbook for details. |
RARE |
| __nofail__ |
The port was built successfully. |
COMMON |
| __parent__ |
This is a parent reason. |
