I just built sudo successfully on 9.1 using system clang 3.1 and CXX=clang++ CXXFLAGS+=-std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ The problem you're facing is probably the lack of libc++, which contains all the C++11 library features. You can use C++11 using the old gcc standard C++ library, but then you won't have access to about 2/3 of the new features which are all implemented in the library. To get those on a system that doesn't ship with clang already you could install devel/libc++. Unfortunately this won't build on older hosts due to the lack of aligned_alloc. While this can be worked around by defining your local aligned_alloc, you'll probably trip over the lack of xlocale(3) support, which is required to build libc++ successfully and first appeared in 9.1. So basically I see two options for you: - Update to 9.2-RELEASE, 8.4 will be EoL soon anyway - Try building aria with a recent gcc instead Cheers, Michael -- Michael Gmelin _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
