Edit it's 'Makefile'. Look for an assignment of the form: .if ${MACHINE_ARCH} = "amd64" BROKEN= This port fails to frobnicate foo on amd64. .endif Remove this assignment, build the port and try to debug its problems. When you have a fix, run "make clean" in the port directory, save a copy of the entire port subdirectory somewhere and email the person or team listed in MAINTAINER with your fix. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
