I got that one. But what you have replied here has got my attention: ${MACHINE_ARCH} and ${ARCH} the same?

In this particular case its involving a particular arch, and seeing as I have this arch I'd reckon I'm an ideal candidate to try and help fix it :) I poked around for a bit for an answer, but pretty much all the info is on how to mark it as broken- not overriding it.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.
.if ${ARCH} == "amd64"
I'm stupid now, but I will learn... :)
