i've managed to build packages for everything else on the system, and gettext
seems to compile and install just fine, but for some reason, building the
package fails:
===> Building package for gettext-0.14.1
Creating package /usr/ports/packages/All/gettext-0.14.1.tbz
Registering depends: libiconv-1.9.2_1.
Creating bzip'd tar ball in '/usr/ports/packages/All/gettext-0.14.1.tbz'

tar: share/doc/libasprintf/autosprintf.html: Could not stat: No such file or
directory
pkg_create: make_dist: tar command failed with code 256
*** Error code 1
now i understand what the error means, what i don't understand is why the
error exists in the first place. if these files aren't created with the
initial make, why is the packager trying to include them? and how do i fix
this?
