This bug report asserts that ansidecl.h is an internal file necessary only to build the GNU toolchain and should not be installed by devel/binutils. However, binutils also installs bfd.h which happens to include ansidecl.h (at least, it does in v2.24). Therefore, the installed bfd.h is broken. This fact either contradicts the original assertion that ansidecl.h should not be installed, or else it implies that bfd.h should not be installed either. However, if we did not install bfd.h then we probably shouldn't install bfd.a either, and at least some ports seem to rely on binutils to provide them both. So I am questioning whether the removal of ansidecl.h from the devel/binutils install is the optimal fix, or if there is a better way to handle this that allows lang/gcc49 to work without breaking devel/binutils and programs that rely on BFD. _______________________________________________ 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"
