I gave feedback to Pawel but forgot to CC bug-followup at . From my point of
view I can't do anything now, because I'm not able to reproduce the
problem. The port builds correct. Please reopen the PR. Here is my mail
from 13 September 2011:
Hello,
I spent some time in investigating the problem.
I installed a clean FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE and a 7.4-RELEASE from scratch,
both i386 and with minimal configuration (i.e. networking and
localization).
The port builds and installs without problems on both setups.
I also suspected gsed and gawk which are used according to the configure
log that you have sent me, but they also don't seem to be the problem.
Now the funny thing: I set "blaviken.slowicza.org" as hostname, restarted
the machine and used the work directory that you have sent to me. It
builds and installs without problem. So it doesn't seem that the problem
is related to the port. I have the suspicion that your compiler or
toolchain is broken. libffi does a lot of compiler and assembler magic
which tend to be totally broken if the compiler or assembler don't work as
expected.
Note that is still necessary to have a hostname set. If the machine has no
hostname, then the port will definitely fail at build phase with the
following message:
MAKE i386-unknown-freebsd8.2 : 0 * all
*** Error code 1
Best regards
Björn
