ports unbuildable: KDE3 & KDE-lite - RESOLVED

Re: ports unbuildable: KDE3 & KDE-lite - RESOLVED

Hi, I'm a newbie to FreeBSD.  I'm trying to build KDE3 from the ports 
collection without success.  MY PC is running on 5_stable (5.3).  The 
sticking point is:

./src/gdevl256.c: In function 'lvga256_draw_line'

Stop in /usr/ports/print/ghostscript-gnu.

The KDE3 & KDE-lite ports won't install, they crash out.  I've CVsupped
the ports and run a portupgrade -aRr as well as having the latest stable
source code and a custom kernel. Do you have any ideas or should I put
the question to the freebsd-questions mailing list?

The error you're seeing occurs in the ghostscript-gnu port, which we 
don't maintain. However, I suggest you try to install ghostscript-gnu 
via package (as root: pkg_add -r ghostscript-gnu), this will allow you 
to continue building KDE and save you from figuring out the build errors.

Thanks Michael,

I'm posting this resolution to "Questions" so that other newbies won't 
have the same problem.
